Following Up After Interview

I've had a few interviews over the past few weeks. One interview I thought went pretty well and I was really excited about the job. The company told me they would do callbacks for second-round interviews. I made sure to send a thank you note promptly after the interview. It's been about two weeks and I haven't heard anything back. I know that the interview process can take a long time, so I'm trying to be patient, but the more time passes, the more anxious I get and start to lose hope. How long is an appropriate time to wait after an interview before following up? Even if I didn't get chosen for a second interview, it'd be nice to know that I'm out of the running. Is it uncommon for companies to tell interviewees who didn't make the cut that they are no longer under consideration? Out of the handful of interviews I've had, only one has let me know that I wasn't chosen. I just would appreciate knowing so I can move on to pursue other opportunities.

Thanks. I followed up via email. I finally heard back and they told me they will make a decision by the end of the week. I'm not getting my hopes up but I feel better that I got a response.

If it's been over two weeks I think it's fair to follow up again - even if you didn't get the job, perhaps you can ask why and maybe even get considered for another position in the future.
