I had a third interview for a job I really want and was told they're "still interviewing other candidates." It's been over a week, and I'm not sure if (or when) I should follow up or just wait. I'm not desperate, but I worry it might come across that way. How long should I give them to get back to me?

I think somewhere between a week or two. Don't worry about coming across as desperate. Interviewers and hiring managers expect applicants to want updates on their status.

2 weeks

I wouldn’t wait too long. A professional follow-up after a week shows you’re still engaged. As long as you keep it short and respectful, it won’t come across as desperate.

1.5-2 weeks, follow up emails are nice you can always thank them, add your excitement and anything to recap or being up something you hadn't mentioned.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
