Interview 2 weeks ago, no response

[Calypsomakesmesmile]

DD had an interview for a role she really wants, it's a graduate scheme.
She felt it went well and was told told they'd be in touch 'next week'.
It's now the middle of this week.
She she email? DH says an quick note to her contact, DS says no because it looks pushy, I'm not sure.
My guess is that she's been unsuccessful or that maybe they're waiting for other candidates to accept.
I'd value any opinions.

I'd say she's been unsuccessful too. Unfortunately most companies don't get in contact to say sorry we hired someone else.

@purpledingyoverboard , thanks. It seems rotten that they don't even send an email.
It's tough out there for these grads.

Personally I would email and ask for possible feedback. Nothing to lose, they’ll either reply or they won’t. It’s tough when you don’t hear back after an interview

If she does email, maybe she could keep it light: “Thank you again for the opportunity, if there is any further information you require from me please don’t hesitate to let me know”. That then gives them the opportunity to respond either saying they need more time or that she’s not been successful. Then she’s not being “pushy” but still gives them a little nudge?

Hi OP

I work in HR I'd send a quick note to the hiring manager - anything could have happened to delay the overall process. Although it's good practice to tell candidates if there is a delay, they could be busy with other elements of their role or waiting for the hiring manager (huge pet peeve of mine!). My role covers all aspects of general HR including recruitment meaning I'm tied up a lot. It doesn't look 'pushy' to email and at least you'd know.

Fingers crossed OP for your DD

I’m afraid these days companies can’t be bothered to send an even an email saying ‘sorry you were unlucky’. However, 50 odd years ago I had an interview at an international company and, having left home, desperately needed the job. When I didn’t hear from them, I wrote to them, and was offered a job by telegram. It seems my file had been misplaced on a window ledge!

It's uncommon in any companies ive worked for to not send an email even a rejections

There's been cases where the wrong email was used or it went to junk. Definitely email, it 100% won't change their mind either way!

She's sent an email.

Sorry, should've said, thank you for the advice.
