7 Signs Your Job Interview Went Well:
- They Ask How Soon You'd Be Available to Start.

- They Say You Seem Like a Good Fit (This is Mostly a Way to Know if a Phone Interview Went Well)
- The Interviewer Smiled a Lot and Seemed Excited.
- Your Interview Went Longer Than Expected.
About a 24 hour turn around. The offer letters are received quite quickly after a decision is made by upper management. You receive an email usually and then the communication is electronically done until your orientation the first day.
After your job interview, the first follow-up should be a thank you note; preferably a handwritten letter sent through the mail, which is more likely to be read, but an email on time is better than nothing. You should always send a note to every person you interviewed with, no later than 24 hours after the interview.
Another reason job seekers don't hear anything back is because they weren't actually formally rejected. Depending on the hiring manager and the applicant tracking system (ATS), your resume can end up in application limbo.
Typically you only get a job offer after reference check, they need to confirm the experience and references you provided in you resume. If the company tells you that they are going to do a reference check, it's a good indicator that at that point in time you fit their requirements to be hired for the job.
When job applicants don't hear back from an employer, it can be upsetting. Yet it's very common for companies to not notify applicants when they are rejected for a job. In fact, you might even interview with the company and never hear back. It can seem like your application disappeared into a job search black hole.
Here are just a few possible reasons for removing the posting: The position has been filled. The position is no longer required (in my contracting / consulting world, sometimes positions go away or are filled by a partner company) Plenty of resumes have been received and we do not want any more submissions.
Ask Staff Members
Some employers have applicants meet privately with peers as part of the interview process. The candidate can ask peers about practical matters, which presents a good opportunity to ask how many people have interviewed for the same position.A job offer should include your full compensation package, so it's very important that you receive it in writing. Along with the salary and job description, the offer might state signing and periodic bonuses and company benefits. Some employers bypass the phone call and send the offer directly by postal mail or email.
Start by sending that person an email soon after the decision has been made. Dudley suggests saying you're appreciative that you had the chance to interview and you're sorry you didn't get the job. Then, ask if they could spare 10 minutes for a phone call in the coming days to discuss areas where you could improve.
Following up for the position of [position name], I'd like to inquire about the progress of your hiring decision and the status of my job application. I am very eager to work with your company. Thanks for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hear back from you soon.
The best way to ask if you “got the job” is politely at the end of the interview. Whether the interview was over the phone or in person, you should be asking questions all throughout the conversation.
If you sent your followup email after the interview and didn't hear back, here's what I'd do: First, make sure you've waited a one or two days for a response (not counting weekends). Give them some time. Then send a followup to the same person, replying to the same email you already sent and keeping the subject line.

A reference check is NOT an offer
But even with good references, the hiring team still goes back over the entire interview process and all the other candidates and determines the best fit. Also, things may change at the company that no one expects. So not being hired does not mean your references screwed you.
