Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

I empathise with the nerves & how you’re feeling.

I encourage you to give them a bit more time before shooting another email out, especially given that a long weekend just passed and some people might still be on leave. That and you did email them before the long weekend started.

I would wait until Friday to send a follow-up email. Although it may be incredibly tough to wait, stalling for a few more days is probably your best bet.

Give it a little more time. It could be that they're doing background checks/ref checks, etc. That can take some time.

Hope you get the outcome you are hoping for. I noticed your title says physician. What kinds of pharma roles are you applying for? And are you a graduate of a medical school outside Canada?

This seems to be typical of companies now. Try and be patient. I work for Bayer and applied for a position within Bayer in February. I emailed the hiring manager and they said they would update me with a response soon. I emailed again and didn’t receive a response back. The position is still open within the company portal.

My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
