If you’ve interviewed yesterday, here’s probably what’s happened since then:

The hiring manager’s heart beat ~104,000 times, their blood travelled ~168,000 miles, their lungs inhaled ~23,000 times, they’ve used ~7,000,000 of their ~9,000,000,000 brain cells, and spoken ~4,800 words (~20 may have been about you).

This doesn’t include the ~65 emails they received, ~10 phone calls or text messages, ~3 new fires they have to now put out at home or in the office.

Among all of this, you, as a career seeker want to find out where things stand.

It may not be an immediate priority at the moment.

Please be patient, give the hiring manager a little room, they have a lot going on, and there’s a good chance you may need to ask more than once.
