Next week: After the Interview - Successful Thank You Notes
So, you had the big interview. You prepared well and had a
great conversation. They said they'd be in touch very soon. But they haven't called yet. You are convinced you got the job. You go home and wait for the phone to ring. And wait. And wait...
When it does not ring within 24 hours, you start to wonder what is going on? Don't panic! You may be out of the running, but you may NOT. Instead of worrying about what is going on, follow the advice in this article by top recruiter Jeff Lipschultz on what you should and what you should NOT be doing while you wait!
Genuine Work-From-Home/Remote
Jobs
Employers have many concerns when they are considering
hiring a new employee. In this article, former recruiter Biron Clark shares the 7 topics discussed most often when evaluating a candidate's "performance" in interviews. This topics include: Do you seem easy to work with, can you do the job, will you stay, how do you compare with other candidates, and more.
After the interviews are over, the hiring manager commonly asks EACH person you met what they thought of you, and -- if one or two people have their doubts -- it could cost you the job. Note, this question is asked of more people than just the interviewers! Learn more in this article.
Following up, after an introduction call, after sending
your resume, or after an interview can have a great impact on whether you are selected for the next steps in the hiring process. And, obviously, in getting the job offer. Communication, personality, professionalism, and tenacity have as much influence in the selection process as skills.
Follow-up is one of the things job seekers often seek advice about, and one that many don't do very well. In this article, executive recruiter Harry Urschel shares the positive impact of professionally-done follow up. He also debunks the common excuses job seekers use for not following up.
When the employer or recruiter does not call back when
they said they would, do not assume that you did not get the job! At least, don't assume it, yet. Often, the hiring process must take a back seat to other more urgent matters, like managing the response to the pandemic, staying in business, handline a crisis, becoming ill, traveling on business, being promoted, leaving the organization, etc.
Do not “pause” your job search while you wait for an answer. Keep your job search momentum rolling. Until you hold a job offer (with the right job title, salary, and start date) in your hand, you do not have a new job. In this article by Job-Hunt's editor Susan P. Joyce, learn about the 10 things that could be happening and what you should be doing while you wait.
Excellent Remote Job
