Truth is in these situations, you might be their 2nd-3rd choice candidate. They’re waiting to confirm their 1st choice 100% before telling you you haven’t been retained.

2 weeks

usually a week but two is not unreasonable.

depends how much paperwork has to be done to extend an offer.

Are you following up, btw?

Been a week for me

I’ve followed up with HR 1x/week x2 weeks, then also followed up with the potential bosses via LinkedIn request (w personal note) in the 2nd week

Lol, but also 😭 ^^^^

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

Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.
