I recently had an interview through a referral for a senior associate role. Given the referral they expedited the interview process and I interviewed with all necessary parties in one round.
The MD had mentioned they’ll go through the process and if I get an offer during the time I should provide them an update so they can provide an answer
I followed up with HR last week Monday for an update and she got back to me Friday saying the team enjoyed speaking with me and she’ll probably have an update next week (this week)
Based on this do I have a chance in getting this job? Any insight would be appreciated. Recent layoffs had an impact and there aren’t many opportunities available, hence, the eagerness.
Given the holiday and you were one of the first interviews, I would give them some time to come back before you lose hope.
Depending on HR rules they might have to interview a certain number or types of people before making an offer and you are just too early.
It’s been a month already. HR had said last week “they enjoyed speaking with you and I should probably have an update next week”
A month is nothing. It feels like a long time to you, especially since you were recently laid off, but it honestly that is nothing for filling a spot, especially right now where it is more of an employers market and they can be picky.
I just posted a spot myself. I have someone who was recommended to me that I spoke with last week that I like. I still have to post the job externally and will most likely need to wait at least 2 or 3 weeks for resumes to come/be reviewed before I can move the whole group to a 2nd round.
Definitely the case, people need to go through a process even if the more junior person liked you. It may be driven by the MD/President who wants to do (ie here's a stack of resumes look through them and pick 5 regardless if the current intern did well and you want to extend them).
Get back to them next Tuesday
What city?
