Dear Senior members,
I had recently got interview call from the renowned consultancy firm, They had taken telephonic interview and with the Skype interview as well. They were convinced with my interview. I also gave aptitude test with them, I also gave personal interview, But no one is giving any confirmation for the job. Even after several followups there is no postive reply from there side. Does that mean that I have still not got Job?

Many candidates are interviewed by organizations for one job. Your assumptions that you fared well are beyond question, but what the interviewer(s) feel about you is only known when you get an offer. The time gap between these two events has no fixed definition. Sometimes there is no vacancy & interviews are merely to check if the right talent is available in the market. Therefore, good candidates seldom wait for the results of the interview; they are in demand & have no reasons to be restless.
So, review your restlessness in the light of the facts stated above & decide if waiting for a response is still worthwhile.

Dear Jobin Thomas,
As Mr.Bhatia has indicated on some occasions organisations conduct interviews for a prospective vacancy that they intend to create owing to expansion of their business.As they will be short of time close to the actual commencement of business they conduct interviews well ahead. For example an automobile manufacturing company may choose to introduce a new model somtime in September 2013 and they may conduct interviews 6 months ahead. Close to the launch say 2 months ahead they may choose to hire the candidate. While some companies communicate the matter to the candidates some other companies keep it confidential owing to business reasons.
Yet another aspect could be as employees have options to choose employers, sometimes employers are at cross roads to choose between two best candidates. In this juncture they have to compare and contrast various aspects such as skill sets, CTC, relevant experience for the job profile, communication etc., Even if they decide to hire one candidate they would not prefer to shut the doors for the other prospective candidate kept on hold. This could be because the candidate selected by them may reverse his decision and not join them. In such a case they will fall back on the second candidate put on hold. In your case I feel that the company is in such a situation. Do not be in a hurry , do not show eagerness as this will mean that, you badly want to join them and this could be a negative ranking for you. (You have already mentioned that you have made several follow ups and there was no positive response). If you have alternate offers on hand I would recommend that you pursue them.

Hello Jobin,
As rightly suggested by our seniors, please do wait for them to call you. Do not take it negatively if this offer does not turn out to be yours as it's a question of matching their requirements or expectations from a certain candidate. So many factors are involved in this decision so it does not mean you are a loser. Of course you can check where you need to improve, but be confident and hopeful. Be on the look out for further job.

Dear Jobin:
Reasons for them remaining 'silent' for such an obnoxiously long interval, can be innumerable, some of which have already been very deftly mentioned by other members. The bottom line; the smartest guy - with the required skills in tandem. But beyond - and this is disquieting- is the factor of already having 'selected' some sifarashi guys ( mind you , this often even happens in MNC's) and if these guys don't turn up, then you can hope light at the end of the tunnel. Touch wood!
