Do I still have a chance?
I recently interviewed for a technician role at the Long Beach location I’m really interested in. I had an approximately 80-minute panel interview, felt like it went well, and was also given a tour of the facility.
I’ve followed up a couple of times since then. The recruiter originally told me they expected an update by Thursday, but that deadline passed. They later apologized and said they were still finishing interviews and hoped to have an official update by the end of the following week or beginning of the next.
That timeframe has now arrived and I still haven’t heard anything. I’m wondering if I’m genuinely still being considered, or if they have a preferred candidate and are keeping me as a backup while they wait for that person.
For recruiters/hiring managers or anyone who’s experienced something similar: Does it sound like I still have a legitimate chance at getting the job? And would you follow up again at this point?
