I had an interview with a collegiate and after the interview, they let me know if I made it to the next stage of interviewing or not...it has been 2 weeks....should I assume I didn't get it?

    My experience tells me the longer a potential employer waits to contact you about next steps, the lower the chances that you're still being considered. Have you followed up to see where they are in the hiring process?

    In my current job, there was always immediate follow up about next steps. They kept the interview process active and date-bound.

    I'd keep looking if I were in your shoes.

    Did you follow-up with them at all post-interview?

    I didn't want to seem impatient so I wanted to wait. I guess 2 weeks is enough time for a follow up right?

    I would have followed-up with a thank you note/email after the interview and then after one week, would have followed up again.

    Thank you for the reassurance =)

    I would keep up your search but also keep this one on the back burner unless you hear that you didn't make the cut.

    Did you follow up

    Agreed. I work at a university and searches to fill positions can take 3 months or more. The last time I applied for a job it took about a month to get contacted for the initial phone screening. Higher ed (especially public, state schools) are notoriously slow to fill positions. I would follow up with your initial contact, which is usually an HR person to see where they're at in the process. If you had to create an account to submit your application, log in and see if there's any status update on the position.

    You can assume they are pursuing other candidates but they haven't rejected you yet. Sometimes those other candidates don't pan out and they may move you up to the next round. On the other hand, I'd keep looking. If you were their top choice either they would have contacted you or they are such a mess they are leaving their top choice on the shelf for 2 weeks.
