Tip 45: Moving on...

Recruiters often avoid you at this stage. They do not want to mislead you into believing that you will be offered you the job, but they also do not want you to walk away because you are their backup. Expect to hear things like "candidates are under review," "I will let you know when I hear something," or they just stop responding.

Edwin, an anthropomorphic jackrabbit, is wearing a business casual outfit and has a grumpy expression on his face. He gives job searching tips by speaking directly to the reader using a dialogue bubble. Edwin says,
"If a week or two have past since the final interview and you have not heard back, then it is likely that you did not get the job. They have offered the job to their top candidate and are waiting for them to accept. Do not lose heart! If the offer is rejected then you are next in line. Regardless, you should assume the worst and keep job searching."
