Nailed the job interview...no answer. Now what?

Try to stick it out a little longer as they might be less likely to hire you if they think you're desprate or impatient but when it's getting to the point where if you wait any longer they'll probably hire someone else then send them a professional and respectful email. They might even think it shows that you're determined and a go getter and that you really want the job.

It's customary to send a thank you letter after your interview. Preferably a hand-written, physical letter as e-mails are very impersonal. It's already been 7 days so I'd forgo the letter and call them instead.

Try calling their Human Resources Dept to follow up to status of your job application. That way, they'll also know that you are very much interested in the job you've applied for.

Send the email. I know this because in college, the people who had interviews who never heard a phone call, and my mom with her old jobs got jobs because they did a follow up call

I would send an e-mail just politely thanking them for the interview and then asking if they had had a chance to make a decision yet.

Did you send a thank you email, which is standard to do no later than 48 hours after the interview? The next step is check with your references to determine if any of them have been contacted. The company could still be interviewing other candidates even if the interview went well many companies are attempting to attract, since this is an employer's market, employees that if the job market turned would not be applying for the position i.e. Masters, experience at well known large 500 Fortune Companies etc. I recommend, you send a email, subject line: Follow-Up on Interview February 1, 2012. Before your interview ended, your interviewer should have informed you of the organization's follow-up procedures — from whom (same person who interviewed you, someone else), by what means (phone, e-mail, etc.), and when you would hear again from the organization. If the interviewer did not tell you, and you did not ask, use your follow-up / thank-you letter to ask. If more than a week has passed beyond the date when you were told you would hear something from the employer (and barring some major event in the news like a merger or acquisition or other event that would be taking employees' attention), call or e-mail to politely inquire about the status of the organization's decision-making process. Someone (or something) or an unexpected circumstance may be holding up the process. A polite inquiry shows that you are still interested in the organization and may prompt the employer to get on schedule with a response. In your inquiry, mention the following: name of the person who interviewed you, time and place of the interview, position for which you are applying (if known), and ask the status of your application telling them thank you for the opportunity.

just send them an email. it works for me. i waited for a month and cannot wait any longer. so i sent them an email telling them i went for an interview but havent heard from them ever since. would love to know on the current status of my application. i also jokingly said in the email that i hope they didnt forgot me and how awesome our conversation during the interview. so what happend was they were very busy and still working on some paper work for my application. i already got the job now. you should try send an email too. dont make the email sound so serious, throw in some unexpected jokes. you can also google examples of 'job application follow up email' to get some ideas of what you should say and what not. good luck !
