At what point do I give up thinking I'll hear back?

Long story short...

Two weeks ago, I went on two seperate interviews. Both went well, each said they liked me. The second one seemed more promising. He said "I like youi, when it cames to understaning the job and company you get it".

First interviewer said he had a pile of resumes to go through so it would be at least another week to 10 days before he'd know.

The other said the following week he was traveling for a trade show so he wouldn't be making a decision for awhile.

At what point do I consider myself not a consideration for either of these jobs?

Did you follow up with them? 2 weeks is definitely an acceptable time frame to follow up after.

it's the summer- people go on vacation

you really never can tell

one interview I went on, I thought I blew it and the next day they called me back for a second interview

for a different job, I waited 2 weeks thinking I wouldn't hear, and then they called me to offer me the job, saying I was their first choice but they had to interview a certain amount of people

If you get another job offer and have to make a quick decision, I don't think there is anything wrong with letting the HR person know the situation and asking if you are still in the running
