So....I believe a positive interview completed.

I did the usual, thanking the interviewers for the opportunity, etc.

Decision will be made over the next week, but subject to key decision maker availability.

Worth a follow-up email or just let things happen (or not...).

Thanks.

Was it directly through employer or agency? If it's company then wait and see they will have a process, agency then chase your contact

I have found that if they are saying we'll be in touch, they won't, if they are asking about salary and notice period they will.

I'd leave it 7-10 days and email then if you've heard nothing (if it's non-agency)

Are you looking at other opportunities as well, if so chase it up after a week as the people you will be working with might actually be interested but the halfwits in HR will be taking their sweet time...

Imo a short thank you/follow up email after the interview goes down well. It's confirming you are still interested in the job and a chance for any minor clarifications you want to make about what you discussed.

Otherwise don't push things, if they've given you a timescale for when you'll hear back, wait until it's passed before contacting them again.

In the meantime continue as if you haven't got the job, go ahead with any other interviews scheduled etc.

I've interviewed a fair few folk over the last 10 years, at times I have had my my opinion swayed/changed by a follow up email. So I would say go for it.

Along the lines of, "its been x days now so I assume I did not get the position, I have positive feelings towards the company/job/staff (expand as appropriate) and felt the interview went well, can you outline why I was rejected and any areas I could work on to improve my opportunities in the future?"

If you can engage the employer in discussion perhaps you can highlight where they might have missed your ability to meet their objections.

Not worth it. Interviewers are routinely rude ****ers IME even in supposedly professional and friendly organisations. It's normal to just hear nothing and if you push for feedback you'll get bland bullshit. Bitter? Who, me?

Depends on whether it was first or second interview - if the first, it's simply to get you down to the 'shortlist' and for a second interview with the hiring manager so it probably won't make much difference. If it was the second, i.e. hiring manager, yes, particularly if you are able to expand on a particular point made at the interview.
