Should I email to ask when they are making their decision??
The situation:
Interviewed for a job with the government 3 weeks ago tomorrow. Was told that my answers in the interview were worth 60% of the evaluation, and my references were worth 40%. They contacted my references the next week- so two weeks ago.
Am I being overly optimistic in thinking I should/would have a response this soon? Are unsuccessful candidates (for gov't jobs) usually contacted (even if its a generic email) ? Should I give it a little more time, or send an email inquiring as to when they will be making their decision?
I don't actually have the emails of the people who interviewed me, just the HR lady that was setting up the process.
[Just as a side note- I'm overly anxious about this as I'm currently unemployed (finishing my master's), have sent out 60+ resumes/applications for jobs, and this is the only call back/interview I've received- aka the typical story of everyone else on here]
