Give them a ring, I worked in HR once and had no problem if someone rang up once, just don't ring everyday.
As you or someone said above, no news is good, means you didn't get dropped in the first cut or so.

Good luck

I've sat in a few interviews and the person getting the job was ALWAYS the last one we rang. If we couldn't get through to those who didn't get it, then we simply had to delay calling the successful person until we had spoken everyone else.

So here's hoping!

When I've employed, I have always rang the successful person first. Make sure they accept the job and not accepted something else or had a better offer, before declining the others.
Might have to go back and look again at second best.

I've had it happen to me. Been phoned and told unsuccessful, didnt make the cut. Shortly after, been phoned and told they could offer the job.

Makes you thinkif you werent good enough before, why now?

Lets hope Bunyip that everything works out well and that you do indeed get offered this position. Hope you get the call sooner, rather than later. Or in some cases, not at all. That really annoys me, not getting a courtesy reply to let you know the position has been filled. Always left sitting, wondering.

Good luck.

One time I was talking to someone I'd worked with before (I was managing a project and his firm did some of the work) and he told me his firm was looking for a principal engineer and he'd like me to apply.  It sounded interesting so I did apply, went for an interview which seemed to go well, then heard absolutely nothing.

I met the same guy some months later at an industry seminar and told him that you just didn't treat people like that: he apologised for the discourtesy shown by the firm (of which he was MD).

Since 1983 I have never got any job I've applied for:  all the jobs I've had have been offered to me without an application.  Just lucky I guess!

Keep applying else where mate.

Don't hang on this one job, waiting for them. Keep applying, keep searching and keep positive!!

Its easy to get down about things and its hard when you (hopefully not) might get rejected.

Takes a knock and your positive attitude and self esteem can take a knock.

Stay positive and stay happy.

Yeah mate,

Always looking and applying. When I was in Sydney i hit over 40 applications, in Orange I have found two jobs to apply for in IT.

Still contemplating a change of career and starting from scratch. Looking at getting my Heavy Rigid drivers license, do what Lost did in reverse :)

Great news. You're either in the last two or three, or,  you're the preferred applicant.

My last " second interview" , after an initial phone interview, was really just to see if I was really interested, and wasn't a complete doofus!  Somehow I passed  ???

Good luck either way.

Have you ever walked out of an interview feeling that nothing could have gone worse? I didn't get into any arguments with them or anything, just nerves got the better of me.

On reflection it probably wasn't as bad as it felt but I certainly think it coul dhave gone a whole heap better.

Should find out by the end of this week, back to the search.

I walk out of every interview like that mate.
Doesn't necessarily mean you did badly though.
Good luck anyway, I'm sure you did well.

Cheers.

First "proper" interview in about 8 years and have not worked for six months, might explain the nerves.

Had a couple of agency interviews but nothing more than that.
