Question: How long should I wait for a job offer after taking an interview? The initial feedback from the recruiting agency was that everyone was impressed with my resume and my interview, but I have been waiting for a response for over a week now. What should I do?

Answer: Usually, you should get a response within a week. You should contact the employer to know whether they’ve made a final decision on the candidates they interviewed. Some employers take a while to contact the applicants they want to hire. If they’ve decided to pass on you, at least you’ll have some closure. Also, note that a “thank you” letter after an interview is always appreciated. You should let them know you’re interested.
