Rejection . . . or not? Post-interview drama.

I went in for first round interviews at a boutique and sent thank you notes to everyone I met with, including HR and the admin who organized my schedule.

The interviews were on Friday. This morning (Monday), I got a response to my thank you note from the admin, saying:

"Thank you for coming in on Friday. I will let you know if there is anything more we will need on our end here."

Game over? Or benign?

Not sure how that is considered drama. It was the admin who replied. Admins have no say and are not involved in any of the decision making. Most likely, she has no clue if you're still in the running or not given that the interview was on Friday.

 

First rounds usually have a delay before you hear back. Generally over a week while they figure out who else they are bringing to the final round
