Hiring departments may be chaotic
The waiting game in the job hunt is always miserable. Going through the interview process and then sitting at home, thinking every single email or phone call is that company, calling to tell you that you got the job, is hell. And that hell may go on a little longer right now. The hiring departments at many companies can be hectic during a pandemic. Keep in mind that they’re getting their ducks in a row, too, figuring out when exactly everything (from finances to managing parties) will be in place to even bring on new employees. Many industries are also facing constantly fluctuating guidelines when it comes to COVID-19 compliance. So be ready for the hiring party to say, “We don’t exactly know…” in response to your question, “So, when will I know if I got the job?”
