Interviewed for an attorney advisor job at an agency in September. They contacted my references in November. I followed up in December after not hearing anything but they never responded. Do I follow up again or let it go?

Since you already followed up in January, I’d probably let it go. Federal hiring can take a long time, though, so maybe don’t lose all hope. But, I’d continue applying elsewhere. There may be more opportunities once 2024 funding is set.

May be slow on the responses because of the current uncertainty of the FY24 budget. Especially if your contact is an HR person. Fed gov jobs can take forever to get started.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!

I am a young professional... But every job interview I’ve had so far pretty much just wants to know what kind of person I am. They are as interested in my leadership/communication as much as they are in me talking about my experience.

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
