They promised that they would give you a call after your job interview. In your heart, you know that you are qualified for the position. You expect that they are already going to make arrangements with you, but they didn't. This is a exhausting experience for every applicant and it is a poor reflection of any company. The sad truth about this circumstance is that it happens more often than you think.
On Tuesday, Cheryl was interviewed by a company for a job application. Cheryl knew that she did very well in the interview. The HR representative told her that they would contact her within the week. Friday came, and still no one from the company made an attempt to contact Cheryl. She was getting worried. She wanted to ask about her application but she was confused.
Cheryl wanted peace of mind, so she asked her cousin Gloria for advice. Cheryl's cousin was a HR manager who worked for a different company. Gloria encouraged Cheryl to inquire about her job application. She also told Cheryl to inquire on Tuesday because it is always inappropriate to inquire on Mondays -- companies are busy gearing up for the week.
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.
There is a great possibility that you will be able to talk to a person when you follow up. If this happens, grab this chance to inquire about your job application. There are times when a person will talk to you and give you reasonable advice, but this rarely happens. Make sure to thank this person when this occurs and try to gain wisdom from this circumstance.
Bosses know that applicants are very eager to find out about the results of their application. For this reason, most employers wait for the right time to discuss this matter to the applicant. On the other hand, there are employers who let applicants wait even after announcement date. You have to consider things like this before working for that particular employer. Meanwhile, do something productive while you wait by looking for other jobs.
