I interviewed with the nurse manager, and it seemed like they thought I was a good fit. After thanking them via email, I was asked, "If we were to offer you the position, will you accept it?" I of course said yes, knowing there were only people they interviewed after me. They were looking to make a decision in the next 2 days. Then they reply and say, you will hear back from HR soon. Well, it's been several days. How long should I wait to follow up with HR? The manager is on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I can't reach them even if I tried. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I would suggest making only one attempt--two at most--to follow-up with the manager after they've return (and yes, you could ask HR when the manager is expected back in the office). But repeated calls/attempts to follow up could risk you being labelled a nuisance. And don't stop the job hunt while you wait to hear back. Best of luck! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nov 15, 2016 by t3mama 44 Posts; 1,300 Profile Views I'd say about a week? I don't know what several days is for you, but if it's been a week, I'd do it if I were in your position. My husband who is in HR seems to think a week is appropriate for follow up :) good luck! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
