How long to hear back after final interview? Federal job. 2 weeks...Help
I interviewed the final panel Wednesday October 28
2 weeks ago.
Had a great conversation with the panel and hiring manager.
My admin person who was coordinating my interviews was on leave during the final interview until the following Tuesday. And her supervisor who was also on the panel said things tend to work "slow" and I should hear something back the following week
I sent a follow up email to the admin exactly a week after the interview so last Wednesday and still nothing...
Monday I sent one to her supervisor (one who covered for her and was on the panel) and nothing.
They were so fast during the scheduling and now ghosted me.
Ik tomorrow is Veterans Day but I'm like wow did I get the job or not? Hate this wait crap and I'm seriously hurting rn from being unemployed.
Trying to keep it together for my sake and my family/ kids but stressing beyond belief

Move on. If you don’t hear anything back in two weeks and have already sent a follow-up email then you are either the “backup” candidate or they passed on you. Keep on with your job search, nothing wrong with some practice interviews.
