Went on 1st interview in 12 years----3 weeks ago. Sent e-mail follow-up and have not heard back from interviewer---is it the "norm" that they don't get back to you ?? I know she hasn't filled the position as person who recommended me confirmed this.
Source said I would have job if I was jumping up and down to relocate---sent e-mail to asked interviewer to "talk" with her about the relocation and have not heard back from her.
Is it customary for companies to send rejection letters these days??

I don't know about the corporate world, but I know in education around here they always call to let you know that the position has been filled.
They may be waiting on their 1st choice to pass background before they call the others

Sometimes recruiters take care of things like that - the hiring manager may not even be involved in the details like rejection letters. Other times, things just go really slow when hiring. Three weeks sounds like a long time if you are the person waiting, but when hiring, you may interview people scattered over a week or more then there are approvals or other decisions to make - it just drags out sometimes.

I very very rarely send rejection letters and then only to maybe one or two of the top contenders. I just don't have the time to send a note to everyone who applied or interviewed. ,

In my recent experience, you are lucky if you ever hear a thing. And if you do, it will be long after they originally told you.

Did the person you interviewed with give you a business card with a phone number? If so, I would call and ask.

Thank you that's what I was wondering. This whole situation is just a cluster "F". and the person who might be my boss is the one that interviewed me. I'm not sure if she'd "lax", overwhelmed in the job or just not interested in filling the position, or has no confidence in her decision.
This is all very---very strange. I sent her an e-mail to inquire and ask for a follow-up phone call as I'm pretty sure I know why she didn't jump at hiring me--do to some lack of communication in sharing my thought process on my part during my interview on moving. She hasn't e-mailed or followed up with me. I'm going to just "ride" this out and see where it goes.

I think these days that usually only the top contenders for a job (ie those getting a phone interview, in person interview, and second/third interviews) get any sort of follow up after interviewing. Most people are lucky to even get a rejection letter.

It bugs me that there is such a lack of etiquette in recruitment nowadays. With email it would be so easy to do mass mailings to let people know one way or another. I used to have to type them all by hand in days gone by.

Maybe the first runner up might get a letter but my assumption is that you will hear nothing. Assume silence means bad news and keep on looking. If they call you later it will be a nice surprise.

I heard back just about a month after I had my 2nd interview that I was not selected. It seems that they will keep good candidates on standby to see if someone better comes along which really sucks! That's how I felt anyway, after going through the initial interviews fairly quickly and then... nothing.
