Do you recommend sending a follow up email after not hearing from hiring manager? 3

[Mech5656]

Hello All,
About 3 weeks ago, I went for a job interview that looked a good fit for me. They even called me for second interview and I went for that also, which went well. Now, after not hearing from them for 3 weeks, do you recommend writing an email to them asking if they have hired anyone or any other update?

This can go either way. They may think it is nice that this candidate is interested in this position OR I may look desperate. What do you recommend? How would you feel if you were a hiring manager and the candidate sent you an email asking about position update? Thanks

And yes, the position is still open on their website.

It does seem a little odd. If they need an engineer, they need an engineer. Whether they have to fire you from an engineering position or a purchaser position shouldn't make a difference. I could be missing something, though.

Not sure what your job market is like, but where I am engineers have plenty of mobility. Hopefully you haven't been sitting on your hands all this time and have more irons in the fire. If any of them are getting hot, see what they have to offer. If this is the only show in town, take it and do your best - hopefully it works out.

If it is a place you really would like to work at, then why not give it a go. You can always keep your feelers out there looking for something else.
