text: after an job interview is a week long enough to wait before checking up on it.? i went on an job interview last week . the interviewer said he would call be in about a week his words were. i just got back from vaction give be about a week and i will call you. the interview went very well absolutely. contact and thank for interview and request status of application.  consider thanking the hr person a good step, and that don't fret being denied.  i was denied here, and then a week later the person i thanked for setting up the interview set me up for a job in this company, which pays better and is more challenging, a blessing she denied me originally!  always send the thank you email as soon as you can, practically a day or two.
