How did I do?

I had an interview a week ago (1 week and 1 day to be precise). This was the second of a three interview process. First was its a phone interview with HR, then a face-to-face with partners. I don't know how I did really so I've been googling for hints that you did well / did badly but I can't tell if I fit in either of those categories.

Firstly, it was obvious they were concerned about whether I can work with minimal supervisory input. I'm not sure how convincing I was but I know that was the issue they wanted convincing on. Anyway these are the things they said / did that I need help with establishing whether it went okay or didn't:

  • no technical questions
  • asked which clients would speak highly of me
  • reassured me that although they know my boss they would not talk to him about the interview
  • said 'this has been very helpful' towards the end of interview
  • asked me about the hobbies I'd mentioned on my cv
  • told me that one of my clients was a big fan of one of my hobbies
  • told me about expansion plans
  • when I asked a question they explained breakdown of types of work job involves in detail
  • told me that process involved a second interview BUT did not say I would be offered a second interview but told me about the person who would do that interview and what their position is in the company
  • did NOT ask me about notice period although notice period is standard in the industry (long)
  • did NOT give me an indication of when I would hear but I didn't ask which I now regret.

What do you think? I was cautiously optimistic but am feeling pretty despondent now.

I would be tempted to call HR and just say that you forgot to check the timescale for the process. Make it clear that you are not hassling them.

Thanks - I emailed HR and got an automated response that they're out until Weds (yesterday) but still nothing.

How frustrating. I hope you hear soon.
Perhaps you could call tomorrow.
