I agree.

been 2 weeks you say, definitely call them. what I suspect is that they are either not quite ready to pull the trigger yet to hire or, they have an offer out to another candidate. call him. 2 weeks is more than enuf time. Good Luck!!!
I dunno...

From my interview to my offer was 6 weeks, when I was specifically told I'd "hear something next week". I know guys that had multi-MONTH interview processes for their jobs. Bottom line is sometimes folks get busy, shiat happens, balls get dropped, and stuff is forgotten. There may be another offer that was extended and they are waiting to hear back, or they haven't gotten around to a "thanks but no thanks" notification...but there also may be more important things they are dealing with right now than extending an offer.

If the OP reaches out to them, I'd highly recommend it only be thanking them again for their time consideration of him to fill the position, and reiterating the desire to work for their organization.

This comes across as MUCH less pushy and impatient as any variation of "Hey I'm just curious why I haven't heard anything yet", while putting you back in the front of their minds.

Just my $0.02
