When following up with a job interview or contact – what is acceptable when the companys does not respond to email, voicemail etc when they left the conversation saying they would get back to you?

A question from Steve at our webinar: “Discover Your Ideal Job and How to Get It”

Steve, I’m sorry to say this, but they may not have been telling the truth.  If you’ve called and left messages for the people you interviewed with I recommmend the following:

1. Take a breather.  Have you really given them enough time to get back to you?  (Try multiplying the amount of time you think is acceptable by three before getting too antsy.)

2. Contact them once a week, not more.

3. Stay in touch – and see #2.

4. Move on at the same time.  It’s kinda like dating – be pleasantly surprised when they call, instead of waiting breathlessly by the phone.

Rooting for your success!
