How to Deal with the Anxiety of Waiting on a Response from a Job Interview
It can be Torture or Not
I remember applying for my current dream position in June 2019. I heard nothing about my application until the end of July, almost two months; all of June and all of July!
It was a gruesome wait time.
I finally heard from the recruiter, and she was interested to set up an initial interview with her. This interview is the one you must pass to get to the face-to-face interview. Fast forward, the interview went great!
And guess what?
I waited again for a call, for a face-to-face. I swear these are the longest waiting periods on the planet!
Does this sound like you? Have you experienced one of the three:
You had the first interview with the recruiter; it went well and you wait.
You have had the second interview with the first-level manager or a panel interview; it went great and you wait.
You have had a third level or fourth level interview with a senior executive or another panel; it went well and you wait.
Your nerves are probably about to explode! I know mine were.
