I recently interviewed for an AD position at CBS and sailed through the rounds, ultimately reaching the final interview with the Americas leader two weeks ago. Fast forward to almost Friday, and I'm still awaiting the outcome.

The HR contact, who has been amazing throughout, informed me that one more candidate is left to interview early this week. I was initially promised a response before the end of the week, but now it's Friday, and the anticipation is getting the better of me. (Continued ⬇️)

Despite following up, there's been no news, and the portal status remains unchanged.

I understand nobody here can provide a definitive answer, but has anyone experienced a similar situation with CBS or another LOB? Any insights or advice on dealing with the nerve-wracking wait would be greatly appreciated. Patience is wearing thin, and I'm grateful for any shared experiences or wisdom.

I was told by the recruiter that it’s down to me and another candidate and that the team is working with leadership to make a decision.

I don’t understand what’s taking so long to decide between two people once interviews have concluded. What could this mean?!

The decision-maker could be out of office? It is that time of year for holidays... sometimes you miss someone by a few minutes and then you're waiting a few days for a reply.
