Hi everyone,

I had a job interview at a university a few weeks ago for an academic support position. I haven't heard back from them and I'm wondering what it might mean or what I should do? I am (massively) hoping that it might be because my references are being slow to reply to them but I'm not sure if that's just being optimistic.

Anyone been in a similar position before or have experience of university HR departments?

They could just been slow or you may not have got the job. You should email the administrator and ask for an update.

You could also check with your referees whether they sent the references.
