   VIRGINA TECH Student services has an approach I agree with;
   
   Before your interview ended, your interviewer should have informed you of the organization's follow-up procedures - from whom, by what means, and when you would hear again from the organization.
   
   If the interviewer did not tell you, and you did not ask, use your follow-up thank-you letter to ask.
   
   If more than a week has passed beyond the date when you were told you would hear something from the employer, call or email to politely inquire about the status of the organization's decision-making process. Someone (or something) or an unexpected circumstance may be holding up the process. A polite inquiry shows that you are still interested in the organization and may prompt the employer to get on schedule with a response. In your inquiry, mention the following: - name of the person who interviewed you - time and place of the interview - position for which you are applying (if known), and - ask the status of your application
