is this job going to hire me?

When did they say you'd hear by?

so last friday (26th oct) i had a job interview at a supermarket - i thought it went okay, i have no previous work or interview experience so i’m not 100% if i answered the questions very well but i did try my best. it’s now thursday (2nd nov) and i’ve heard nothing from the place, do you think there’s still a chance that they’ll get in contact or should i give up hope and assume they’ve hired someone else?

Hi @teigannn,

It could just be them taking them time to evaluate all the other applicants before they make their decision. It typically takes companies one to two weeks for them to get back to you. But there is no harm in reaching out to them if you believe that sufficient time has passed by. If you're thinking about writing to them, a follow-up email, you can express your continued interest in the position and politely inquire about the status of your application.

Hope this helps,

what would you reccomend i say in the email

You can begin it by thanking them for the job interview opportunity, and reiterate my demonstrating your strong interests in the position and how your skills could align with the job description. Since you mentioned uncertainty with how you answered the questions, in the email you could briefly say a few things about how you fit the role. End it off by politely enquiring their timeline regarding the hiring process, and if there is any additional information they might require from your end.

Hope this helps
