The importance of follow through when job hunting

When you apply for a job what do you do next?Too many people wait, and wait and eventually they might get the “regret” letter but often people hear nothing.If you want the job, you can’t leave it to chance. You must folow through.

When you submit your letter and CV by email, keep track of the date and if you have not had an acknowledgement within 48 hours,  get back in touch to make sure your information has been received.You can expect to wait a couple of weeks as the cut off date may be a week or so ahead, but again if you hear nothing, make a polite enquiry. Don’t be pushy, but do ask and find out when you will hear something. Do make sure that you sound enthusiastic so you will be remembered.
