Am I out of luck?
It’s been a week since my interview with a major bank for the financial analyst position.
I haven’t received any updates from the HR representative, and my application status on Workday still shows as “application received.”
Should I send a follow-up email or let it go? 😭

It’s completely understandable to feel anxious after an interview, but one week is still within a typical timeframe for employers to get back to candidates. Companies often have multiple stages in their decision-making process, which can take time.
Sending a polite follow-up email is a great idea! It shows your continued interest in the position and helps keep your application top of mind. Just keep it brief and professional. Here’s a simple template you could use:
