Lots to do...

After my week of not doing much on the job search in the wake of the flu, I have tons to do this week. I cannot tell you how the job listings piled up in my in-box – and I really have to read them if I don’t want to miss a good lead right? My outplacement coach sent me a new version of my resume. And so did the Ladders. Resume rules are SO confusing. My outplacement coach’s writers completely…

2 Essential Steps to Follow Up on an Interview

You have just left an interview. What do you do next to let the employer know that you are really interested in the job?

Send a thank you note. Let the employer know that you appreciate the time they took to interview you. Include your contact information, express your interest in the job and mention a few of your relevant job qualifications.

The note can be an e-mail note, typed letter or handwritten thank you card. There are advantages to each type of note: e-mail note is immediate. You can write it after your interview and have it arrive within seconds. The typed note is business-like and professional. The handwritten note conveys a more personal touch and can be sent as a supplement to a thank you e-mail. Do what ever feels most comfortable for you, but do it!

Make a follow up phone call. Call the hiring manager or the person who interviewed you. If you have not heard anything from the employer and it is past the hiring decision deadline, it's time to make a follow-up phone call. Inquire about the status of the job opening and again express your interest in the job. Ask if they need any additional information to assist them in making a hiring decision.

Call once and don't call back again unless told to do so. You want to show your interest in the job, not stalk the employer.

Tips for good interview follow-up etiquette

Knowing how and when to follow up with an employer after an interview can be a tricky business. Should you send an email or a handwritten thank-you note? Do you chase them up if you haven’t heard back after a week? Contact them the wrong way and you can seem rude. Don’t get in touch and you could miss out on a great opportunity. Get it right every time with our guide to interview follow-up…

Gary's response to my email followup:

Hi Jillian,

I’m bummed to tell you that we are going with another candidate.

It may be for the best though, my experience so far is that I keep getting stuck in this sort of position when animation is really what I want to be doing. Some of my other friends have done well just sticking to their guns and staying in the animation world. A number of them freelance and have built up enough of a clientele that they are doing well and are really kind of doing their own thing now (within client needs...)

Sometimes I wish I hadn’t got myself into this work and my goal is actually to get out of it. Actually, I’m going to be working on my own feature length project before long. I have my plan of attack worked out and can’t wait until I’m able to sink more time into it

So, I know that my experience doesn’t really mean that you’d have the same but I hope it’s some consolation. I really am looking at a way out of here.

I did think that your work was great, I love seeing your process stuff and the finished product shows that you know what you’re doing. I hope we do have a chance to work together in the future and I think that you will have luck finding a job.

Thanks for applying and for being so diligent!

I really appreciate having had the chance to interview for this job, and that Gary sent this kind response. I know I did something right to get an interview in the first place. Allyson called last night, and we talked for an hour. She really, really, really, really, REALLY (in her words) wished me to get this job. I thanked her for pointing it out to me. I applied for a similar job at Big Frog Custom T-Shirts in Beaverton; I plan on stopping by Friday before visiting Za and going over my portfolio again. Since I got the flu right after our last visit, it's been a solid month since I've seen her. I look forward to it. I hope something works out eventually. Mom and Dad told me "home is always open," but I don't want to rely on the generosity of family for the rest of my life. But what if I'm supposed to go home for a while? Am I supposed to find something somewhere else? I told Camille that I've really wanted to go home for a time. She suggested "Why not five days?" - I told her five days is not worth the cost of flying. It's taking me so long to find a job (most of which before February is my own fault) that I feel like I could have been home for a couple weeks anyway without an issue. I know that's not how life works, especially post-college.

Something will work out. Someday.
