I interviewed last week at my company for a different department. It would be something different, but in a good a way-less physically depending (but it would be more emotionally demanding.) The interview went well, I am confident at how I answered questions. I was nervous beforehand, ended up taking my klonopin (which I usually only take 2 weeks before my cycle for PMDD treatment.) I do feel confident on how the interview went. The manager seemed very interested in my abilities and was happy I am interested in some of the responsibilities of the position because most of their staff find it stressful to deal with. He said he's sure I will hear from him soon, but he did have another interivew.
I know it's only been a week. But I hate waiting! It's making me more anxious and such. (I do like my currant position, I just feel that it is creating way more stress and anxiety then I need, it's a very stressful enviroment at times and it defiently doesn't help my PMDD symptoms/anxiety.) I just really want to hear what is going on with the position!!!! I keep telling myself, it's only been a few days. I emailed a 'thank-you' to the manager I interviewed with. I just want to hear something! (I'm concerned because the position is offered full time and I explained to the manager I am just below full time, they seemed ok with that and willing to work with me. But what if this second interviewer wants full time?) I keep telling myself I did the best I could in the interview, I am happy with that. I just hate how they keep you waiting.... keeping fingers crossed though, (I only told my family and a few non work friends I interviewed, just in case I am bummed and don't end up being offered the position.)

I can certainly understand why you are anxious. I think the best thing for you to do is to continue to reassure yourself that the interview went well and it is out of your hands. If it is ment to be, then you will be offered the position. Good luck!

I interview people for a living (I work in human resources/recruiting) I can tell you that a lof of companies, big and small, take way longer than necessary to make decisions and notify people of what's going to happen. It's horrible - sometimes I have people that hang on for a month before i can tell them they got the job or didn't get the job.

since it sounds like you've done all the right things - did a great interview and sent a Thank you - you kind of have to play the waiting game, which is definitely the hardest part. If the manager told you a certain amount of time, and that time passes, i think it's ok to make a quick call or send an email and let them know that you are still interested and just wanting to follow up on your interview. hopefully you will get a response after that, just so you have closure.
hope that helps and you get the job you want!

Yay! You got an interview that IS something in today's economy.

I agree with jadedmoonbeam. I also do quite a bit of interviewing in my position. The process of recruiting is not quick. If you don't hear back by whatever time they told you they would get back to you, nothing wrong with another follow up call or email asking about the status. There is also nothing wrong with saying " I really want this job/position". I remember one time I had two very strong candidates for an open position - and it was tough deciding between the two. One of them had told me he 'really wanted this job'. I hired him and he is working out fantastic!! Be patient and think positive!
