Agency I’d love to work at reached out to me out of the blue. Had one interview and then it’s been radio silence for two weeks. Should I stop holding out hope?

Wait another week. Follow up. See if they answer.

Don’t wait, reach out ASAP (during working hours) to check in and be nonchalant about it. Unless they specifically said it’s going to take a few weeks to get back to you, 2 weeks is a long time not to hear back at least about scheduling another interview or letting you know the status. Could be the recruiter dropped the ball on your update email or a multitude of other things, either way youve waited long enough.

Follow up if you haven’t already, but don’t lose hope yet. Lots of people on PTO at this time of year so things might take longer.

They might be interviewing other candidates. Two weeks may feel like a lifetime as an interviewee but things just move slowly on their end too.

Give it a couple more days then send a follow up / check in.

Update: the position was filled. Sucks.

Happens to everyone, all the time. I’ve been in the biz a while now, have a shload of rejection emails saved in their own folder. Work on your portfolio, your interview skills, etc. but mostly move on. If you’re really into that agency, keep track of them and hit up that recruiter later on down the road.
