Why do interviewer's always leave you hanging, waiting for a call?

Question

I've been to two interviews last week and I thought I did very well in both of them. They both said to me that they will let me know by next week if I got the job. Why do employer's make you wait for a week, why don't they just pick a day and if you don't hear from them on that day then you obviously didn't get it. I can't stand the waiting. I don't think it's very professional to make a potential employer wait a week or two to see if they got the job. Does anyone else agree?

Answer 1

I agree. Often, they just don't have the b@@@@ to call and tell you you didn't get it.
Sometimes, they change their mind and don't hire anyone,, and other times they can't make a decision.
Yes, i too, would have more respect for a person who says," I will call you by Friday afternoon if you're the man I want for the job." I have interviewed people for jobs, and I used this approach-" i will call you by XXXX if you're the person I want to hire. "
Yes, it p>>>>>> you ( and me ) off but there's not much you can do.

Answer 2

you would be an employee...you work for them..they don't have to take your time into consideration if they don't wanna..they would find someone else....but yeah..it is inconvenient.
