The hard part is not hearing back. If you took the time to interview, HR should take the time to update you. I’ve learned to keep applying until you get an offer because some recruiters never get back to you which I find offensive and unprofessional!

@Indeed: Is it reasonable to elaborate on questions that were asked in the interview in a thank you email?

[yan]

TBH... I don't even read thank you notes as there is no possible scenario when everything among interviewees are the same (skill sets, personality, fit etc) and hoping the thing that make them stand out is the little thank you note. Decision is made the moment conversation ends, thank you notes don't do a thing, instead of wasting time on it, it's best to spend time to prep and sharpen skills

What is the next step after assessment

[alright]

What if your recruiter is the hiring manager? What if you were referred by the hiring manager and offered the opportunity of the job by the hiring manager?

8:38. REPEAT AS NEEDED. WHEN ANXIOUS ABOUT RESULTS.

Thank you letters to me is an outdated practice and makes you look unconfident and needy . Writing a Thank you letter is never going to make the difference between you getting a job or not . So ultimately why do it ?, you are wasting your time on some notion of perceived etiquette left over from the old days . In todays market of "we don't have the bandwidth to call everyone back who interviewed, a candidate needs to be just as straight forward.

Your explication very Complicated it’s not Clearly
