followed up 2weeks after interview. They said, they are still interviewing candidates and haven’t made any decision yet. What is that mean? If they are interviewing other people they didn’t like me?

My guess would be they already commited to the scheduled interviews, want to follow through and give everybody in the pipeline an equal playing field. Then debrief and choose. Good luck! 🤞🏼

Yeah! Don't loose hope... We are hiring at my agency and they are just flying people out to interview and meet CD'S and the copywriter they are trying to find a partner for. It is taking a little while. Your name and the job may still be on the table, but if they are trying to partner someone or something there might be more things in play beyond how well your interview went. Either that... Or they are mugging you off. ;) I would just politely ask for them to let you know either way, and if you have another interview or other job offer or opportunity or something that you can (politely) mention, it might put a fire under them. Lol. Leveraging always is fun.

And then if your “other” job offer never materialises and in three weeks you’re still waiting, you’ll look like a manipulative insecure amateur. If you do have an offer you are intending to take — mention it. If you don’t — don’t play games.

the job I have now, they interviewed me first. then a bunch of other people for three months, even though I was my partners first choice. his bosses just wanted him to meet with a lot of people.

they didn't like you enough to make a decision and or their scheduling is messy

Would you feel better knowing that they didn’t love like you, they just sort of, like, like liked you, but hired you anyway because “you’ll do?”
