Why don't you call the interviewer and ask if the position has been filled yet. You could also let the person know that you are still extremely interested in gaining employment with their firm. Another nice touch is to send a thank you card to the interviewer, thanking them for the opportuntiy of being chosen to be a candidate for the position.
Be persistant and call back often, you never know an opening may become available and you may call at just the right time.
Best of luck to you with your job search.

I would phone the person you had the interview with, especially if this is the person that makes the decision, and say something like "Hello, im sorry to trouble you, with regard to my interview last week, which I am very interested in, I wondered if a decision has been made yet, as I have been offered a position within another company, but I preferred your position, and thought I would contact you to see if there was any decision yet". Its playing a little on the truth, but it will show them that you have "balls", and that you are obviously well qualified or you wouldnt be getting other job offers.....go on, you have done the hard part, put the ball in their court. Good luck

Write a polite letter to the company involved stating that you haven't heard back after the interview.
Thank them for giving you the chance to interview and if unsuccessful, could they explain why you didn't get it so you could improve your chances at the next interview.
I have done this a couple of times, and normally get positive reactions.
Normally, having been interviewed, you should be notified either way.
We have just done some recruitment where I work, but there were 4 weeks of interviews for various posts and they weren't going to inform anyone until all interviews were over.

Call them and enquire about the status of the opening. Then explain that the reason you're asking is that you've been offered a job elsewhere but would rather take this one. Explain that you don't know how long you can hold off with the other company.

Call the company, see if there has been any progress made on your application and interview, that you are interested in this position and would like to know they need any more info.

Send a similar letter addressed to the person who interviewed you and keep applying for other jobs until you receive a reply

One thing I would like to say is not to bother them. If you have the job, they will let you know. Usually if it has been this long and you haven't heard back, then most likely you don't have the job.

first, send a thank you note to the person(s) who interviewed you
second, call the personnel or human resources dept and let them know that you are still very interested in the position

I do a follow up call, if it has been that long. That also makes it look like to them that you are interested in this job : )

call the employer back and ask him if you are still a candidate for the position.
some employers like people with that kind of initiative
