Is It Ok To Ask Employers When I Will I Know If I Am Successful Or Not?

[abbeyleigh]

If you go to interviews is that question acceptable?

[Redhelen72]

Yes, just phrase it politely. However it may not be possible to give you an answer if it’s a very large company as they could be interviewing hundreds of people.

[rockyracoon]

Yes. It is perfectly acceptable to ask.

[bookbinder]

It might be more diplomatic if you were to say, "Can I expect a decision from you?" Don't ask for a decision within a specific period, just a hopeful-sounding query should be enough.

"Do you have any idea of when I might hear whether or not I've got the job?"

[tomus42]

I'd say it's an essential question to ask.

[Peter Pedant]

should be last or very last

[Canary42]

I think I would say not.

Most decent interviewers will give you some idea when wrapping up the interview (I alway did).

[tomus42]

If they haven't told you it's essential to ask.

If they have told you it's stupid to ask, because you've just asked them something they've already told you.
