Followed every guideline, submitted the master resume\ncreated after weeks of hard work, and everything went well and as envisaged.\nNow eagerly waiting for the hiring managers to contact you and schedule the\ninterview?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, this situation filled with nervousness must have\nbeen experienced by a majority of the candidates. Should they call you first or\nshould you make the first move, is a very perplexing problem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many candidates think that due to incompetence, their\ncandidature has been neglected, but there might also be other reasons that\ncould have involved the personnel in other tasks. The best solution for the\nsituation is to plan an effective follow-up to get the attention of the hiring\nmanager on your qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Establishing contact with the hiring team to check the\nstatus of the job application, known as a job follow-up, is perfectly alright\nto clear the suspicion. A good follow-up can give the hiring personnel an\nimpetus to have a close look at your resume and re-think their decision. \n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But these things will happen only when you have\nstrategically planned your follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep the following points under consideration during your\nplan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Contact the hiring manager:<\/strong> In place of other HR executives, contact the hiring\nmanager as he is in charge of hiring the right candidates, so making a good\nimpression with him\/her is of great importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Opt for e-mail: <\/strong>Email\nhelps to track the conversation and offers ease to respond as and when it is\nconvenient. So dropping an e-mail is always better than a direct call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you feel or there is needed to make a call then\ndon\u2019t rush to it in the morning. Select a time after lunch when in general\nthere is a lesser load and the manager has some time to listen to\nyou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Go through the contact policy:<\/strong> Many organizations, refrain the candidates from\nmaking a contact after submission of the application. Check if there is any\nsuch condition with your organization or not, as following-up after such\ncondition will hurt your candidature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow-up Plan:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The excitement and little nervousness, after producing\nthe application, make the candidates a bit impatient to get to know their\nresults. This leads to an urge to follow up fast. But when the hiring managers\nwere asked about the ideal time when a candidate must make a move, then 43%\ntold about 1-2 week being the ideal time, 30% agreed on 2-3 weeks, 19% said for\nless than one week and only 8% ticked right against three weeks or more. But to\nthe delight, surprisingly, not a single one said that candidates should not\nfollow up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So in 1-2 weeks, candidates must briefly confirm their\ninterest in working with the organization and reiterate their top\nqualifications and achievements of relevance to the employers. Expressing the\ngratitude of being heard, the candidate must end the follow-up with an\nanticipatory thankful note for being scheduled for an interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Winding Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The follow-up on the job application serves two good purposes at once. Firstly, it reminds the hiring manager about your application to have a look, and secondly ends the frightful uncertainty. With simple email tracking applications, one can be sure about the status of mail regarding it has been gone through or not. This helps in planning a better strategy for the follow-up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Followed every guideline, submitted the master resume created after weeks of hard work, and everything went well and as envisaged.
