I’ve had four interviews this month that ended with a positive "we’ll be in touch," but it’s been total silence ever since. I can't tell if I need to fix my interview closing strategy or if this is just the norm now. Would you reach out one last time to check on the status, or is it better to just move on and pour all your energy into new applications?

Both. I've been OOW 7 months. Been top performer entire time Ive been working (25+ years). Nowadays in IT, I believe you should always be looking. With that said, people are looking out the window on a nice Friday and not getting hiring and following up done. It doesn't hurt to have a new message hit their mailbox one last time for followup to stay on their radar but if they aren't responding and there is no OOO, they are likely not going to respond. Best case, you remind them and they action something. Worst case, you waste a few seconds of their time back. ;)

It seems like the people in charge of the hiring process are severely slacking and think they can’t look through all applicants it’s very frustrating and ignorant that’s your job😅

I so agree. Im 63 and what UK employer will offer a job to someone 4 years of their working life left?

"We'll be in touch" is not usually a strong positive signal. Did they ask about your salary expectations? Did they discuss when you could start? Did they explain the role in detail, including your responsibilities? Did they talk about the company's benefits, culture, or what makes the opportunity attractive?

If none of those topics came up, it may not be a good sign. Of course, it's not always a definite rejection, but I wouldn't assume you've got the job yet. It might be worthwhile to review your interview performance and identify areas where you can improve, so you're better prepared for future opportunities.

You could email them just to follow up and ask about what's going on with the position.

They really should at least send an email saying they moved on with other candidates if you actually went in person for an interview.

So you want me to reach out to the people who don’t have time to reach out sounds good if I wanted to waste time👍🏻

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team.

It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
