 Job Hunting
Haven't heard back after an interview?
That's not a problem. Some companies take 5 to 6 weeks to respond. Others take only a week to decide who to hire. Many will have a second interview. You can follow up a week later if you have not heard, but don't push it and keep calling them. If they don't know, they really don't know. Make sure your references know you have put them on your list. Make sure the email address and phone you have for them is correct. If they don't call your references, that is another thing to watch out for - you may not be in the running or they are disorganized.

Your first career choice:
So many different directions! Where to go first? In a nutshell, here's how to judge a company based on your interview. In my experience, it never failed that if the interview is disorganized (people not there on time, people don't know who you should speak to, etc.), so is the whole company mismanaged. Your first impression of them counts a lot. It's also important to speak with the person to whom you will be directly reporting. Ask how much travel is involved. Decide ahead of time how much you want to be out of town. Ask if they will pay your moving expenses if you live more than 100 miles away. It is OK to ask questions like that. Your job offer letter should spell all that out ahead of time so there is no confusion later.
