Is it true that if someone is to get employed after having a job interview, he/she would be notified right after the interview is over instead of waiting for days to get notified by a letter or a phone call from the organization? Have a nice day.

It could happen that way, but most companies have complex layers of management that the interviewer must go through. The interviewer may be very anxious to get you on board, but often s/he has to wait for his supervisor to approve the hire or for human resources department to rubber-stamp it, request a budget for the position, and who knows what else. Usually, getting hired is a very long process so don't lose hope.

Yes I agree with the other posters that the company will not notify you right after your interview. Normally for my interviews I would wait 5 business days and then get back in touch with the contact you have. You can ask them about your status of the application.
Also one other tip is that on your coverletter or perhaps even during the interview come up with a date you will check up on your status and tell them. However, make sure you promptly check on your proposed date for this can also be an indicator to them of timeliness.
Good luck and hope it goes well.

No that isn't true. Most places like to interview several people before making a decision. So depending on where you are in the interview poll will depend on how soon you get notified if you get the job.

No, not necessarily, especially if they had to decide between two or more candidates. Usually the notification is a phone call but some more traditional ones might still send letters.
If you did not send a thank-you note to the interviewer then do so now. It will reaffirm that you do want this job. If you did and you have not heard back from them yet, give a follow-up call.

Not at all. It's possible they are interviewing a number of candidates for the job and they will be taking time to make a decision once they have done all the interviews. It's conceivable it could take as much as a week to hear anything.

No, usually it takes a day or more and can be a week or even longer.
Some depends on what kind of job you're applying for - the higher the pay, the longer it might take to hear. If you are applying for an entry level job, you'd probably hear quickly, maybe even at the interview.

Absolutely NOT!
What do you think interviews are for? The whole point of interviewing is to find the best candidate for the job.
Are you going to tell every person you interview, that they got the job?

Sometimes it depends on the person dealing with the callback situation. I'd hope that if you were hired they'd call you back right away... I'm waiting for a representative to call me back and it's not happening but I found out they are away.
If you don't hear from them within a few days about the results of the interview, just call them and ask to be updated. There's nothing wrong with showing you're interested.

Depends on how many people they had to interview among other things... You could still be in consideration after several days. Depends on the job and their screening process.
If your job interview was at McDonalds however, I wouldn't wait anymore, I'd get that resume a couple other places...

No. Not necessarily.
Employers usually interview a number of people, and then have to decide on the best choice by going over their interview notes.
Just be patient, and good luck!
