Is it safe to assume that I didn’t get the job if I haven’t heard anything and its been more than a week?

I’m starting to interview again for the first time in a long time, and I don’t remember what’s a realistic timeframe.

Also, I don’t remember it being this hard. Then again, my book might be awful. 🙏

No, give it a couple of weeks. Many people are juggling a lot at the moment and need time to adequately assess applicants and reach out to candidates.

It can take time, being on the other side of the process you realize that early in your career you greatly underestimate how busy hiring managers are.

Any reason you can’t check in? You could even tell them you have someone else calling you…

I always ask at the end of the interview when I can expect to hear back/when should I follow up. If that timeframe passes and I haven’t heard anything, then I email for an update.

I'm interested in an open role at Google; the description mentions several in-office locations, one of which is in the city I live in. It also notes only one remote location- LA, California.

Does this mean working fully remote or even hybrid is not an option if not located in Cali? I know work preference can be discussed during the interview stage (if one gets to that point) but looking for insight on this.

Thank you!

I'm in the last stage of the screening process for an Amazon AWS security engineer position. Due to the recent hiring freeze, I was given two options: - go through the last screening (5x1 hour interviews) and, if accepted, wait for a position to open. If not accepted I have to wait 1 to 2 years to apply again, as usual. - OR don't go through the screening and having to go through another screening process. Advices on what to do are welcome. Right now I'm more prone to go through the interview.

Does anyone here send recruiters their resumes from their LinkedIn profile?
