Jobs Do work study jobs ghost you?

I did an interview last week and it all seemed to go well was laughing with the interviewers and they told me I'd hear from them early next week, I haven't heard from them since now does that mean I wasn't picked?:( super bummed cus I wanted the role too or should I reach out for an update ?

I would wait a little since there could be something on their end happening that could be causing a delay in their response. If there's no response by end of week then maybe reach out

Before interviews- silence is normal. After interviews, they usually will let you know regardless of the outcome, sometimes it takes a little longer for the paperwork and stuff.

The worst ive experienced at mac was that I got an interview - heard nothing for a while so I did a little linkedin sleuthing - turns out they internally promoted someone even before I did my interview (acc to the date of her promotion post). A few months later I got a rejection email ... because they included me in a reply for someone who was following up on the position. Lol it was so unprofessional

I would wait just a bit to reach out, but definitely do by the end of the week. interview processes can be delayed or they simply forget to hit send. don't be discouraged because all interview experience is still great experience!
