@Hiring Managers: what are some times to follow up about an interview?

What’s up!

• When should you follow up about an interview? One week? Two weeks?

• What if you need clarification on which application to formally apply to after an informal interview?

• What if you get an offer from another firm?

• Generally speaking, when does following up hurt your application?

• What if someone was about to recommend you but forgot too? Should you confirm they recommended you?

•Also, am I overthinking this and following up doesn’t really matter? More specifically, following up has little impact on overall application status so long as you follow normal interview procedures.
