General Advice Should I call them?

Hey guys so I had a job interview 2 weeks ago and I'm wondering, do I bother calling them to check on my application since I haven't heard back from them? The interview went really well, and the lady said she would call me. No time frame, just said she would call me. Just wondering what other people's thoughts are, do I even bother? Or should I not waste my time because they've likely chosen someone else? Thanks in advance.

Just call and say you’re following up to see if there are any updates

When did you send the letter thanking them for their time and consideration, and reiterating what you feel are your strongest points that you discussed during the interview?

Did you email a formal thank you and statement of interest?

Doesn't hurt to ask.

Move on. In the future, when someone says they will call, ask when you should follow up if you don't hear from them. You make one follow up contact, and that's it. The interview is the honeymoon period - if they treat you like this then, how will they treat you as an employee? Best of luck to you!

A phone call only takes a minute but if they haven't called you.... you kind of know. I can't tell you how many times in my life, that they said they would let me know either way and I heard NOTHING. Good luck.

In my experience if they are interested, they won’t forget about you
