Is no news good news when waiting for a response from an interview?

[Anonymous]

It’s been a week and not heard back yet.

No news is not good news. It just means no news. It can take a while to get a response from an interview. However, more often than not, you will not be told if you do not get the job. In other words, if you don't get the job, most likely they will just ghost you and not say a word.

If you don't hear anything, it probably means they have not decided, or they are ghosting you. You have no way of knowing which.

A week is not a long time. Sometimes they will hire that quickly. But it can also take a few weeks, or even a couple of months. Some companies are very slow at hiring.

It's the opposite actually. You never know what's gonna happen tomorrow but it's usually 'nope' when you don't hear back.

The business will offer the job to the top candidate. This may take several days before the acceptance will be finalised.

Only after all this will the failed candidates be told.

No news is NOT good news, unless you are very lucky.

Nope no news is generally bad news. Most people just ghost you if they aren't going to hire you.
