If they said one week and you're reaching out after two, a reasonable employer will consider that fair. If you've been checking job boards and submitting applications, you should continue to do so. And if you do get the job, great! You can tell any other companies that respond to your applications that you're no longer interested. Many companies have resources and documentation that they make available to new or prospective employees.
As a result, it's not uncommon for hiring managers to say they'll send something over to you following the interview if it came up in conversation. That might include brochures, product guides, contact information for someone else in the organization, or anything else they don't have on hand. This doesn't apply to every application, but if it applies to yours, remember to reach out and ask for the relevant resources. If nothing else, it's another chance to demonstrate interest and enthusiasm while getting your name in front of the interviewer.
In a perfect world, your interview would end with you being hired on the spot. Unfortunately, things rarely go that well in real life. In fact, most hiring processes will have more than one interview. Nearly all mid- to senior-level positions require two or more interview rounds. Even entry-level roles can require a technical interview.
The second interview could be weeks or even months after the first. Be sure to brush up on your knowledge of the role and the company. You should also review your notes and revisit the topics that came up in the first interview. Those subjects may come up again, and you might return to questions that had been left open initially. If there was a topic or interview question from the first interview that you felt uncertain about, make sure you have a better answer to it now.
Second interviews can be daunting, especially for those unaccustomed to them. The second interview could also be a technical interview that directly tests your hard skills. You should also review topics from the first interview and see if you can improve upon what you said the first time. Showing that you have grown since your first meeting could help.
The second interview could be conducted by a different person. It could also be conducted by several new people. Most people are on LinkedIn or Twitter, so there will be opportunities to expand your inline network.
Social media profiles can also help you discover their interests and specialties. If you can find interests that you share with your interviewers you can use them to your advantage and demonstrate just how good a fit you'll be.
The second interview will be different from the first, but everything we mentioned previously about following up, staying polite and professional, and proactively thanking people for their time still holds true. You can afford to be a little more nuanced in your follow-ups this time around, as you've already met some potential colleagues and you are much closer to getting the job. Whether this is your first job interview or your hundredth, there are never any guarantees.

I was pretty discouraged by the time I found your organization on-line and first visited. The speaker provided some great information but most importantly, encouragement and hope.
The panel discussion on resumes was incredibly helpful! Last month I had the opportunity to sit with Brenda and she suggested I really pare back all but the last 10 years of experience an… Read more Robin C. A good friend told me of her success using Career Connectors networking. She landed an interview and later, a job in her field, after attending one networking event.
So, when it was my turn, I had to check it out. I was starting to get the blues about being unemployed but the speaker lifted me out of the dumps and put my life back in perspective. So many people were there to help and offer support! Just by networking that day, I was given a job lead that has led to two interviews and a… Read more Mary B.
I want to follow up with you about the position I had hoped to get. I got it! No one else offers that kind of information. Thank you for all you do. I appreciate your efforts to bless others. May you and yours be blessed every day. Thank you for everything, Cheryl.
