What could cause a delay in job offer/not offer after all of your references have been contacted and praised you highly?
I interviewed on Friday and was told that the process would be fast, and that a candidate would be chosen within a week. On Tuesday they had their board meeting and immediately after that, I heard from all three of my references that they had been contacted. Since then (48 hours ago): nothing. What gives? I've never had this long of a gap between reference check and job offer, and I can't imagine what's going on behind the scenes.
This is a job working for a library/county government, if that matters.
