Interview/ assessment

Post by Shocking83 »

Hi. I had my interview last Friday and thought it went well. I spent an hour and half in the interview and got showed around the mail room and spoke about progression within the company, and I left feeling quite confident.
Interviewer said I would be contacted between 7/10 days.
I'm now on day 13 and starting to panic! Ha
When I login my profile still says interview/assessment.
Is this normal? Should I try contacting someone, and if so who and how?
I really really want this job and don't wanna mess my chances up!
Any advice would be much appreciated.

It's quite common to wait 2 to 3 weeks before hearing back (as I found out last year and many other applicants have also posted similar experiences).

The whole process post interview can be frustratingly slow so bear with it. Good luck!

Great news!

Be prepared for more frustration as the checking stage can also take a long time. It took almost a month from starting the checks process to receiving my formal offer.

Keep the faith :thumbup
