The phrase to go from there means to proceed or continue after a result, certain amount of time, after an event or situation.
For example, at the end of a job interview the interviewer may say to the potential candidate:
“I will review your resume and we will go from there”.
This means that the interviewer will look at the applicant’s resume, evaluate the applicant’s qualifications and experience and once the interviewer has made his/her decision, he/she will proceed to inform the applicant.
The interviewer could have also said, “I will review your resume and once I have analysed it, we will proceed with the interview process”.
Below are some more examples of how to use the phrase “to go from there”:
- “Once we get the blood results back from the lab, we will go from there” the doctor told his patient.
