job interview

Hi.

I'm a new grad RPN in ontario. i have sent out my resume to dozens of job applications and finally got an interview.

So i did research and prepared for some questions but i after the interview, i felt terrible that i messed up so bad.

it was one of the place i had a placement as student ( not the same unit but very similar one). one of the interviewer mentioned that i'm an advance candidate for this position because i've been there and know the hospital setting but they some more people to interview.

It was my dream hospital where i wanted to work so bad.

so my question is when does HR or hiring manager get back to you if you are hired?

It depends on how many more candidates they have to interview, but typically you'll know within two weeks. If they ask you for references that's a really good sign that you've got the job. I found I would hear about if I was hired or not about a week after asking for references.

Thank you for your comment.

I have one more question. when the employer asks for the reference, is that mean i'm going to get the job or just high chance to get a job?

Thanks in advance !

It means they're interested in hiring you. As long as your references check out you've got a great chance of getting the job.

hi. sorry i have so many questions.

the employer did my reference check about a week ago and i havent got any call or email from the hospital.

is that mean they hire somebody else?

gosh. it's my dream job and i can't focus on other thing until i know either got the job or now :'(

I know it's stressful but all you can do is wait and see. Just because they haven't contacted you doesn't mean you didn't get the job.
