It’s been a week since a second round interview for a local government position. They said they would be in touch “soon”. Is a week too soon for me to send a follow up email? I just don’t want them to think I’m not interested or forget about me..

Coming from someone that just hired someone and was responsible for interviews: as long as you sent a thank you note where you confirmed your interest, I’d wait. You could have been the first person they interviewed in that round, and there could be delays/scheduling issues for the other candidates.

A week is fine. No problem with sending a nice follow up.

Yes as someone who works in local government, I can tell you the wheels turn slowly when it comes to hiring. HR can be slow to approve things. I wouldn’t stress yet.

I would wait a minimum of 10 business days

“Soon” in the government means 1-2 months.
