How long does it take between applying to a place/emailing a recruiter and then hearing back about next steps? I’m wondering how long I should expect to wait to hear back (if at all)
AND has the pandemic drawn out this process at all?

Varies extremely widely, in my experience. And a long wait doesn’t always mean you won’t hear back. So hope for the best, but prepare for the worst (keep applying until you have a signed offer letter). Good luck!!

From application-to-actual hire, I’ve had it take as long as 4 months.

I just had a 2 week long wait in between interviews, if I hadn’t heard back today I was gonna shoot another email the recruiters way.

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now. I know I have inherent value as a human being but I am so desperate to succeed and can't seem to catch a break. Just wanted to vent. Thank you for reading.
