Mahmoud sent a -you e-mail message to his interviewer immediately after his interview. it’s been more than five days now, and mahmoud has still not heard from the employer. what action should mahmoud take now? (a) assume that no decision has been made yet and that a call could come soon. (b) assume that he didn't get the job and continue his job search with other companies. (c) send an e-mail indicating that he understands that he did not get the position to save the interviewer time. (d) call or send an e-mail message to check the status of the position.

The correct answer is D. Call or send an e-mail message to check the status of the position.

Explanation:

In many cases the process of applying and getting a job implies a long process that includes sending your resume, being contacted by the employer, being interviewed, etc. Because of this, during all this process the candidate needs to be informed about his status as if the process ended then the candidate needs to apply into other positions or if the process continues the candidate will need to complete certain steps. In most cases the candidate is informed after each stage of the process but if this does not occur the candidate must contact the employer either using email, calling, etc.

Considering this in the case of Mahmoud the best for him is to "call or send an e-mail message to check the status of the position" because in this way he can make sure of his status on the process and take actions about it. Also, not being contacted does not always mean candidates were rejected as in some cases there are issues in communication.
