You just finished a job application interview. You are pleased with the way you handled yourself and that voice inside you assures you that you have made it. The people who handled your interview told you that they would call you soon.
Unfortunately, you did not hear from them. You were very disappointed. And what's worse, things like this are constantly happening. Just remember: Companies can display improper etiquette just like people. It's not good, but it is common. Cheryl was happy with her interview on Tuesday. She knew that she did very well with the interview. She even thought that it was just appropriate to send a thank you letter.
The company representative told her that the results of her interview will come out by the end of the week, but it's already Friday-- and she still did not receive any calls. By this time, she is already having doubts if she would even receive any. She started asking herself, Is it okay for me to call and ask about my interview? Or should I just wait over the weekend? Fortunately, for Cheryl, her cousin Gloria is a Human Resources officer at a different firm. She finally decided to ask Gloria for some advice regarding her application. Gloria told Cheryl that it is okay to call back, but she should call the company on Tuesdays because Mondays are always a bad time to follow up.
That Tuesday, Cheryl made ample preparations for her follow up call. She wrote a script of what she was about to say so that she would sound confident on the line. After dialing, she heard a voice mail and left this message: "Hello! My name is Cheryl Jones. I was able to meet with you last Tuesday when you scheduled my job interview. I would like to inquire about my job application and if you still think I'm qualified for the position. It will be great if you contact me today at 333-999-8888. Thank you!" Do not be ashamed to contact your company if you want feedback about your application.
You just need to be prepared when you inquire, show respect, and be professional. State the fact that you want to know the results of your application. Let them know that they are your first choice and you want to settle things with them before looking for new opportunities. But don't call more than three times. If you continue to ask them, you will begin to look desperate. Consider their silence as a negative response to your application. When you call, it is possible that someone might take your call.
When you get this opportunity, make the most of it, and ask about your interview. There are times when the person on the end of the line will show their concern and offer advice. Make sure that you show your gratitude because things like that do not happen often. Applicants are always curious to know the status of their application and employers realize this fact. Some bosses just wait for the proper time to let the candidates know about the results. However, other employers keep applicants hanging even if they already set a certain date to announce the results. Consider this fact when deciding to pursue a career with this employer. The best thing to do is to continue searching for other jobs while you wait for the application results. a review of acting auditions.
