After preparing fastidiously for several interviews within d last few months, each interview always culminates with d usual "i'll get back to u" sentence. I want to knw if it's a way of saying one is not successful.

A good firm would truly get back to you, either with a success or regret mail/Message . . "will get back" is the usual word. . . The mail afterwards says it all. . . So, its neither a way to say you succeeded nor failed.

It doesn't mean you failed the interview or you passed, it simply means what it connotes - they will get back to you (fulfilling that promise depends on how professional they are).

Almost all companies won't hand you the job they day you were interviewed, regardless of how you managed to impress or bamboozle them. They need some days, at times weeks to complete the recruitment process, the delay in getting back to applicants is what culminate s into the wrong notion they have about the statement.

A good way to say while you may be qualified for the job, you are just not good enough.

Or better still, I will get back to you if we find a vacancy in another firm. grin.

Exactly.
They may call you. Even after 3 months.

They dont wanna be put on the spot.

So they will definitely get back to you with a success or regret mail.

Something I learnt recently, which may help one or two, after your first interview with the company, send them a thank you mail withing 24 to 48hours, thanking them for the opportunity.

Also that's a good way of reminding them about the skills you felt they needed but you dint remember to tell them during the interview, and emphasizing on something you noticed during the interview.

Something like "My time management skills has helped me to...." e.t.c

Also after the thank you Mail, give it 10 to 15 days, send them a mail again, especially for a company you know they need someone urgently.

Something like "I would love to let you know I'm still very interested in this position"

If you don't get any response back between 2 to 3 months, send a last mail and just let it be.

That shouldn't stop your job search though.

I learnt this, and it has worked for someone I know.
