    Applied to a Job Feeling Thinking

    I applied for a staff position at a university in early June and was quickly contacted to schedule an interview. I had my in-person panel interview in mid-June, and they informed me that I was the last candidate they were interviewing. They mentioned I would hear back by the end of that week regarding a second interview. However, it's now been nearly three weeks, and I haven't received any updates. My application status still shows 'Under Review.' I'm starting to wonder if this is a sign that I wasn't selected for the next stage. How long does the hiring process typically take at universities? Should I consider this a lost opportunity and move on?

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I had an interview on Wednesday for a position I really want, and they mentioned they'd let me know by Friday if I was moving on to the final interview. It's now Friday, and I haven't received any updates. I'm starting to wonder if it's safe to assume that it's over. While I'm still pursuing other opportunities, this job feels like the perfect fit for me. I thought the interview went well, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Should I keep my hopes up and wait until next week, or is it time to move on? I've seen comments suggesting that delays are common and that companies often miss their own deadlines. Some people have even received callbacks well after the promised time frame. I’m considering sending a follow-up email to express my continued interest, but I’m unsure if that’s the right move. It’s a holiday weekend coming up, and I know people might be unplugged, which could explain the delay. I guess I’ll just have to keep my expectations in check for the next few days.
