2 interviews and still waiting

[TOSH1]

I went for 2 interviews last week and both went really well. I answered all the technical questions correctly and the client at one of the interviews even said to the agency that I did really well.

I am currently waiting for them to get back to me as it's been nearly 2 weeks.

I am now going through one of the interviews in my head and thinking the technical questions were really easy. They were basic Cisco stuff.

Has any one had a really easy interview and then had to wait for answer for longer then 2 weeks.

Not when the answer wasn't 'no thanks.'

Still, stranger things have happened. You never know, could be that one of them is waiting for sign-off.

Still, best not to get your hopes up - just keep looking. The less time you spend worrying about them the better. You did your best, that's all that matters. Move on.

I had an experience, where i was even said that i am selected for the role, so i stopped applying for jobs and i waited for 3 weeks and finally they said that the project was stopped.

So, after that again, i started to look for job and got it in 1 month. Please dont waste time in waiting for the results.

Don't believe in the agency or companies until you get the offer letter. Keep looking.....

I also had a great interview and got great feedback but still no contract, that was over a month ago. But in my case after a week of no contract I just gave up and moved onto my next contract

You are a real contractor. OP learn from him and my experience.

Stop Waiting and Keep Moving

I wouldnt stop looking anyway, because what if the next contract was closer to home, 50% more money etc?

I was working on a contract where they were getting a new guy in but paperwork had to be approved by someone on holiday for 2 weeks I told the permie PM to call the guy and keep him updated so we didn't lose him.

Point is if the client uses contractors regularly and can't be bothered to keep you in the loop then there is no role.

The Contract

Do yourself a favour and mark my words - Keep looking, until you have signed contract in your mitts, (and even with this, can be sagas) you have Nada....

This goes double when you've been told gig is yours...

Yes, isn't it amazing how many people seemingly advertise roles, then go off on holiday for a month? I find banks are the worst at getting you to interview/test/jump through hoops, only to leave you hanging for weeks/months on end before eventually getting back to you when and if they ever get their heads out of their arses (by which time you're invariably already working for somebody else). They must recruit some really terrific people from the bottom of the barrel that way.

Think of yourself as a business selling your services (which really you are). Would you sit around waiting for one customer on the off chance he might throw some business your way? Would you buggery, you would be after the next customer that might want your services and the next etc until you boom!
