So you submitted your job application, that’s awesome but it’s been a week or even two and you haven’t heard anything. What do you do? As a Raleigh staffing company we hear this a lot. People simply who have gotten discouraged after sending job application after job application, but continue not to hear anything.
These tips are designed to help you post job process.
- Verify your application. After you’ve sent the application wait a day or two, but ask the hiring person afterwards if they received your application. With spam filters and other email protection software out there it’s often important that you verify that the job recruiter got your email in the first place.
- If you are able to get a hold of a real person, to verify your application it’s important that you ask about the process. Questions such as “Can you provide a time table for the application process” or “when is a good time to call you?” can help set realistic expectations.
- Engage with the company online. Often times if you follow the company’s accounts on LinkedIn, Twitter, or even Facebook you can find out more information about the company and often times about the hiring process.
- Find members of the company. No, we’re not asking you to be a stalker but going to networking events and simply asking people out to coffee is a great way to learn about them and how the company operates.
- Most of all though be patient. Just like in your case life happens and often times the job interviewer might have to push the job back for whatever reason.
If you follow these 5 tips you will find the job process much easier and might get the phone call back that you want.
