2 weeks too long for interview callback?....

Published

Hey everyone! I had an interview on 05/12/2016 and the woman who interviewed me said the recruiter would be in contact with me within 1 to 2 weeks to let me know if I have been chosen for the position (or not chosen) since she had more people to interview. The first week has passed and I haven't heard anything yet as of today (05/22/2016). The interview was with 2 nurse managers and I thought it went pretty well! I just didn't know if this is "normal" to have to wait up to 2 weeks to get a callback (whether positive or negative) from a job interview? It's at a very large, busy hospital in downtown Houston.

I mean I'm getting a callback regardless, I just didn't know if the timespan was too lengthy and is most likely a negative thing.

Thanks!

It's been 10 actual days. You need to realize that 1-2 weeks means BUSINESS days. That means 5/26 would be the soonest you would get a response.

The bigger the facility.. the longer it takes to get a response. HR is notoriously slow to put an offer together. I have waited months for a response.

I know it is hard to wait.. but there is nothing negative so far.

Best of luck! Let us know how it went.

Specializes in TBI and SCI.

call at the 14 day mark :)

if it's a big facility they could forget about you because they are interviewing so many people and pick another nurse who was a more recent interview....

I believe in follow up calls/ emails...

In my job I was waiting and waiting on background check and I thought, wow this takes forever... then they emailed ME saying why I hadn't responded.... I never got their email lol... Luckily I got the job yay....
