This Is What You Need To Know About Job Hunting…
You have two choices after you have gone in for the interview. One is wait for them to call you. The other is follow up with them and ask good questions. Never just sit and wait for them to call.
Consider two men applying for a prime position at a company. After the interview, the first applicant just sits around waiting to hear from his prospective employer.
On the other hand, the second applicant distributes his contact information to some people that he met in the company. Furthermore, applicant number two does a follow-up on the results of the job interview a few days later. The first applicant has not been heard from, because he just relies on the basic “We’ll call you” routine. Who do you think will have a greater chance of getting the job?
One huge point here is that the first gentleman was more qualified for the job. He was really a better fit, but he did not get the job because he was not as hungry for success.
If you are still waiting for that job offer and you do not follow up on your contacts, your chances of getting hired become slimmer. In business, following up on all of your contacts is a sure-fire way to spread the word about you, your business sense and expanding your horizons.
If you are still looking for a job, here are some tips on how to follow up on your contacts:
* You might send a thank you note. There is the possibility they will call you later from you letter.
* Leave all your contact information with them to include your email address and home address.
* Some companies do take a look at your character references so alert the people on your list that they might receive a call from your prospective employers.
* Be Positive.
