Be hopeful but also be realistic. Clients are cutting budgets left and right and are having their own financial issues. People are getting furloughed and laid off. Agencies, along with many other companies are seeing the financial impact due to COVID. Keep in touch with HR and check in a few weeks after offices re-open, but keep in mind that the hiring freezes could go on for a very long time even after things go back to normal.
If it’s a dream job, don’t give up so easily. But I’d encourage you to pinpoint what makes that job so special, stay focused, and know that it might take you a while longer to get the offer. The job market always has and always will bounce back.
I’m in the same situation, I “got” the job but they had to pull it before making me a formal offer. Crossing my fingers for us but not holding my breath
I wouldn’t bank on it in the immediate future. But I’d keep in touch and let them know you hope to work with them once they’re in a position to hire again.
Thank you, everyone! Fingers crossed that it works out by this fall
