I had an absolutely awesome interview nearly two weeks ago.

I had an absolutely awesome interview nearly two weeks ago. The hiring manager said that it would be a couple of weeks before they got back to me because I was the first to interview. I sent a follow up email asking about the other program she said I would be also working with. Got a response, but didn't have any further questions once I got the information a week ago. My question is this. Should I send another follow up email expressing my continued interest in their position and ask them where they are in the process? It is with a university and I would be switching from housing to the academic side of campus. I do know from experience that it takes a little longer but two weeks is two weeks right? I guess I am just anxious as this would be the perfect step up in my career. Thank you for letting me vent. Have a great day!

    That's so exciting! I think sending an email to express your interest would work and to check in.

    I would send a short follow up note to express your interest, but definitely don't be disappointed if it takes more time. It sounds like you know this already but higher education hiring takes forever!

    Agreed! Sometimes we think we'll be able to get a decision out and then the background check or reference checks take forever, or HR is backed up, etc. Good luck!
