The Job Search Process
Apr 4, 2014
The job search, let’s face it, is not fun! Job hunting is a job in itself. You could spend hours putting in applications and never hear anything back. This blog will go over tips to help increase your contact and productivity with potential employers.
1. When filling out applications make sure to fill out everything. Also double check that all your information has been entered and spelled correctly.
2. Keep track of all the jobs you have applied for. When an employer calls regarding the application it is beneficial to know what position and company you applied for, especially if you have any additional questions.
3. If you have not heard anything back after a week from filling out an application, follow up with the employer. If you get to talk with someone you want to make sure you are prepared just in case they want to schedule an interview with you. When you call the potential employer make sure you are in a quiet room with no distractions. Also have your resume and schedule in front of you. Take notes of any information given on the call as well.
4. If you have to leave a voicemail for someone, you will still want to be in a quiet area and take notes of who you left a message for.
When leaving a message make sure you speak clear, provide your name, reason for calling and phone number.
5. If you do not get a return call within a few days, you may want to try calling at a different time of day than your first call.
Treat your job hunt like a job. If something is unfinished follow up!
