How long does it take to get a job offer after an interview?

Jobs that are hourly wage roles, like those in the retail setting or food industry, typically don't make candidates wait too long to receive a job offer, in other words, a few days to possibly a couple of weeks.

While salaried positions at companies and corporations generally take longer to notify candidates of a job offer, however, this is not by any means always the case.

Some employers will give you a hint in your final interview that your chances are great or that you will almost certainly gain the position. However, while this is comforting, it is not a guarantee that you are going to get a job offer.

One way to find out how long it will take to get a job offer after an interview is to do some research online of previous employees who may have disclosed this information.

You may be able to locate this information on any number of career/job-related websites. Use this as a gauge, but don't take it as a standard for the specific company.

Other factors that might come into play include the urgency in which the position needs to be filled and how many other candidates are up for the role.
