Q. It seems like I’m going to get a job supply — the primary three interviews went very well, they’re checking references and so they informed me I’m their best choice. But that was two weeks in the past. Should I comply with up? What else can I do?

Keep in search of a job till you get a brand new one.

Anything may be occurring behind the scenes like budgets in flux, an inside worker pursuing it (doesn’t imply they’ll get it, however they need to nonetheless get the courtesy interview), and so on. It’s all out of your management, so as an alternative, deal with what you possibly can management — in search of a brand new job.
