Is a phonecall after a job interview a good sign?

Sorry posting here for traffic lol.

I’ve been trying to get back into work since I had my baby. I’ve applied for several jobs and have had 3 interviews so far since January. The other 2 were unsuccessful. The first one the manager texted me to ask me of my availability for a call tomorrow.

the job is for a cosmetics counter in a department store. How likely is it that I’ll get the job? This is the job out of them all that I was most after. Praying this goes well.

thanks in advance

Sounds great - a thanks but no thanks would be by email, but asking you to accept a phone call is very promising. Fingers crossed!

It sounds like it a very good sign. Fingers crossed 🤞

if they weren't remotely interested, more likely would be an email "no"
could be a discuss further/want to explore an area of your interview/application - may be a yes

have they outlined next stage of the process
considerate employer to pre-book the phone call.

good luck

It does sound hopeful! My last few contacts were all offered by phone call very soon after the interview. All the best!!! 🤞

I don't know for absolute certain but when I've been rejected from a job they usually send an email but when I've been accepted they'll call me so fingers crossed for you
