Ah, the “waiting to hear back about a job” black hole— such a hard place to be! Here’s my advice on how to take more control of this period: When the interview ends: ✅ Ask interviewer when you can expect to hear back about next steps ✅ Obtain/confirm their email so you can send a thank you note ⏰ 12-24 hours later 👉🏼📧 send follow-up thank you email 🗓️ Status update deadline (or if they didn’t give one, 2-3 weeks later of radio silence): send a check in email reiterating interest Polite, professional checkins show passion, focus, enthusiasm and interest. That’s all employers want! I can’t speak for everyone (obviously lol) but I’ve personally never hired a candidate who did not send a follow up email after the interview. 💪🏼 Showing initiative and drive is super appealing to employers! You got this! 👏🏼 #job #work #jobtips #joblife #jobsearch #jobinterview #employed #unemployed #laidoff #layoff #worklifebalance #career #careeradvice #corporate #advicewitherin #life #lifeadvice #email #communication #interview #interviewtips #interviewquestions #remotejobs #wfh #workfromhome #onlinebusiness
