Don't forget to follow up after every interview?
Is it appropriate to contact the construction employer after a week or so if you haven't heard anything, especially if you were one of the top contenders for the position? Absolutely. Hopefully you have already sent a thank you letter and/or email to all of the people you construction interviewed with. Depending with whom the construction interview ended, a phone call to either the construction interviewer or human resources contact is perfectly all right. Ask where they are in the decision process and reiterate your continued interest in the position.
