I always follow up after a week if I haven't heard back. I will usually just thank them for their time and then ask if I am being considered for the role. Sometimes I hear a response, and other times I don't.
I usually call and ask about the status of my application and inquire about next steps. It doesn't have to be anything significant or groundbreaking, just asking about the status. That usually works for me because it doesn't seem pushy or demanding.

Follow up via email a few days after the interview; this expresses your interest and keeps you fresh in their mind. In a week or so, give them a call and inquire about next steps.

One round means you are still in consideration, but silence is common. The follow ups that tend to get replies are short and specific. Thank them for their time, reference one thing you discussed, and ask if there is an updated timeline for next steps. Keep it light and professional. If there is still no reply after that, assume you should keep moving.

I’ve found that short, polite follow ups work best just a quick email thanking them again and asking if there’s any update. It shows interest without pressure. One round can mean a lot or nothing, but checking in keeps you on their radar.
One interview round doesn’t mean much anymore, unfortunately. I’ve had better luck with follow-ups that are short, specific, and show continued interest versus “just checking in” messages.
