I went on an interview today, I felt as if it when great, I was introduced to everyone, given a tour of the of the office the whole nine yards. The interviewer seemed intrigued with our conversation. We wrapped things up and I was escorted to the door made some more small talk shook hands, but the closing comment was, " We just put the ad in the paper, we would like to let it run its full cycle, so you will probably hear something after that." What in the world was that, it really threw a curveball at me?? I thought things went great?

well... you may be what they are looking for but their is always going be be someone out their thats better, faster, stronger, etc. and my guess is they are trying to find that person and if they dont then they will call you.

It means they want to look over more than your application. They may have liked you but want to see if someone else comes along that is better qualified for the same $. At least they were honest with you and you know exactly where you stand. I would wait a couple of days and write a very nice letter thanking them for the interview and say you are looking forward to hearing from them and how much you would like to work for the company and why. It keeps your name on top and shows your interest in working for them. They actually sound like a nice place to work. Or you may have come up short somewhere. Think over everything that was said. Anything they were looking for that you did not have the experience for. Were you dressed appropriately? Hair, nails and shoes all shiney? If you come up with something that may have backed then off a bit, try to cover in the letter without being obvious. I've come to the conclusion that if I don't get the job, then it wasn't the job for me. If they have any doubts about me being the right fit for the job, maybe they are right and that's ok. It doesn't mean anything more than I need to find that perfect job for me. Good Luck.

Not to burst your bubble too soon, but I too experienced the same thing a few times. I was quite certain I had the job. I was given the tour and introduced to all the staff and I got the same thing. We will call you in a week or so and let you know. I think this is a new employer tactic. They used to cut you off and if you were introduced and given a tour you knew you had the job. Well not anymore. Just hang in there and wait and see what happens. Remeber to keep looking and not leave this one as your only option. Good Luck!!

It may be that he wanted to see how you would react. Sometimes when the interview goes very well, the interviewer wants to catch the prospective employee off-guard to see if you can gracefully accept change or unexpected situations.
Or it may be that they have to wait till the ad is no longer in the paper. It would be wrong of them to still have the ad in the paper and tell new callers that "we've already filled the position." They may feel that they need to give everyone a chance.
Either way, don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll find somewhere that you'll fit in.

They probably went fine. They are just letting you know that they will be interviewing other people, and it might be awhile before you hear from them.
Good luck.
