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.

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?
