What does this mean

I’ve been interviewing with a company for the past two months and had three solid interviews. Last week, I received an email stating they would give me feedback on the position. In the meantime, I was asked to review the attachment.

It was an outline of the benefits offered by the company.

It's been a week, and I’ve heard nothing. What does this mean?

I’m so nervous because this is my dream job. It will take me back to my roots when I started my career, and it will be with a company I want to work for.

    "Feedback on the position" could mean many things, from "you're a strong candidate" to "we're revising the role" to "thanks but no thanks." It sounds like they're in a holding pattern, which again could be for any number of reasons, not all negative. However, the fact that they shared the benefits overview is a positive sign. Use it as an "excuse" to touch base with the Recruiter, e.g., "question about your health plan" or something innocuous. No need to ramble on about what a great fit you would be etc. etc. - the goal is to keep it simple and easy to answer - and most importantly, to stay on her radar. We Recruiters are always swamped; don't take it as a negative that you haven't heard back. Give her a reason to remember that they liked you and to get back to you.

    Can you respond asking for a few dates to schedule the feedback meeting?

    If it's been an entire week, email the recruiter (or whoever sent you the email) to ask about the next steps and when to expect to hear something.

    Dream jobs don't exist they are jobs! Send them a note in return acknowledging your receipt and reading of the information they provided you. Let them know your continued strong interest in the role and that if and when needed you are ready to provide them with your references so that they can speak to others who can attest to your strong fit and experience for the role. Give it a week and then if you don't hear back send a follow up email to ask for a timeline of their decision and let them know you are also in late stages with other companies so you want to know where they are about you. Good luck, and don't forget to breathe!
