Following up on Job Ads and Applications

Friday, August 1, 2014

Today on Lets Get Working, I’d like to discuss following up on job ads and applications that you have submitted.

Its important to keep a copy of where you have applied for jobs – the name of the business.

How you applied for the job - did you apply by letter, phone, online on the businesses website or through an online job agency.

It is also important to write down the date of when you applied.

You then need to keep a record of replies you have received as well as chase up those that don’t reply to you after 3 days to see if the job is still available and if they would like to interview you (wink)!

For some particular jobs that you really wanted, it may be a good idea to ring them up 3 months after the job closed as the person they hired may not have worked out and they are looking again.

In summary, keep a record of the jobs you have applied for, follow up on the missing replies after 3 days, and ring to check if jobs you really wanted have become available again after 3 months.

Until next time,
Enjoy the journey!
Martha!
