I had an interview at Cognizant for a Dot Net Developer position on 19 July 2014. I cleared two technical rounds and the HR round as well, and I was selected. However, I have not yet received the offer letter. During the interview, the HR mentioned they would call me the following week, but I have not received any communication from Cognizant. I also replied to the email sent before the interview, but there has been no response.
Next Steps After Interview
So, what should I do? Should I continue waiting or start searching for other jobs? Please provide me with a solution.
Thank you.
