How long is a typical call back for a job?

How long does it take for an employer to call someone back for a job?

• Can some one please tell me How long does it take for an employer to call someone back for a job, I had my interview last Tuesday Feb 28th, I think it went very good with out a doubt, I don't have the direct experience they are looking for but It was very close, besides my escort to the interview said his last job was at a day care, my last ten years of work history is in a field almost the same. but yesterday I called the recruiter who set me up for the interview who said she would call me back with a answer but never did, so I called again today and left a message and she never called back. I really hope they are just busy, being that this company is large and there job location is in the second largest building in America after the pentagon. but in the interview she told me they would get back to me at the end of that week with any status of being hired or not. can anyone please give me there thoughts on this

• Answer:

  If they wanted you, they probably would have gotten back to you by now. Keep looking.
