How to remind myself of the employer after the interview?

When you come to a potential employer, you are always anxious. All your confidence is gone. After the conversation, you hear: "We will consider your candidacy." The soul immediately hopes that the interview went well. A call will be heard tomorrow and you will be invited to work. But time passes, 2-3 days pass, and no one calls you back like that. What to do? How to remind yourself and find out the result?

Naturally, each person perceives such promises differently. Skeptics convince themselves that there is no more hope. Optimists, on the contrary, seek to find positive aspects in everything. In addition, there are confident and insecure people. And there are too self-confident.

So, they told you that they will call you back soon. You need to understand that if you were a very valuable employee, the offer of the employer was not long in coming. On the other hand, one can’t argue so categorically. And that's why.

In any case, since they promised you a call back, then there is hope. And if you really need work, you will have to be patient and develop a certain tactic of behavior. No matter how deep in your soul you perceive the vague answer, you must be persistent. Remember that for a motivated person, the word "no" does not exist.It is necessary, in spite of any difficulties, to get things done and go to the goal.

To perceive an indefinite answer is simple. It’s less to think about this problem and not blame yourself for doing something wrong. It often happens that the person who is being interviewed is quite worthy to get the desired position. But employers are so spoiled by the number of job seekers that they often simply don’t notice your positive qualities. It seems to them that tomorrow the very person who will be able to apply for a vacancy in their company will come.

If you ask those people who have ever been interviewed or filled out questionnaires, then they almost unanimously say that with a positive outcome of the case, calls from the employer are heard already on the second day after the meeting.

There are infrequent cases when job seekers who are especially liked are immediately invited to work. But some executives still like to “take time." They do this "to maintain general order." That is why you can be called back the next day in the morning, and not sent to the personnel department to submit documents after the first meeting.

Other job seekers note that employers, if they have a large number of candidates for the position, may call back a little later. This will happen when all candidates are considered in the personnel department. In this case, you should not hope that you will be answered quickly.

However, it also happens that it takes several days, but there’s still no call. And then doubts begin, and a whole storm of emotions rises in the soul. Various feelings mix: resentment for oneself, pride and at the same time a strong desire to get an answer. And then even a negative verdict in this case will be a salvation.

A person is actually more worried because of the uncertainty of his position. A suspended state almost always leads to despondency. However, to despair is not an option. Therefore, it is better to determine for yourself personally for how long your future employer should call you back.

Experienced people advise to wait for the call exactly three days. If no one calls you during this time, then you should no longer hope. However, there are exceptions to the rules. Perhaps the happy rival who was invited to the position in your place suddenly changed his mind and resigned. This could happen for a variety of reasons. It is possible that he was offered in another place a higher salary or more acceptable working conditions. Then your chances for a "finest hour" increase at times. And do not miss your chance.

After the above reasoning, one conclusion suggests itself: Determine for yourself the exact time during which you can allow yourself to hope for a call. Then, if you really want to, call back and find out the result. If uncertainty in this matter will follow after the call (they will tell you that you have not decided on your choice yet), then simply forbid yourself to think about an unsuccessful attempt. The more time passes after the interview, the less chance there will be of success. Therefore, engage in new job searches. Action is the best way to get rid of doubt and not get depressed.

Nevertheless, the most motivated individuals will go all the way to achieving their goal when hiring.Even if the employer has not called back within three days, then he can do it a little later. What should I do if they don’t call? In order not to ask such questions, provide feedback in advance.

After the conversation, be sure to agree with the initiator of the interview that you personally call him and find out about the result of the interview. So you will get an additional move by which you can find out the result and unobtrusively remind yourself.

How else can you find out the results? Know that there are other ways. And they are quite effective. For example, you can do this.

Writing is a perfectly acceptable way. Of course, it should be in electronic form. Some experts say that a telephone conversation is much preferable in terms of communication than a letter or SMS message. When you hear on the phone the voice of the interlocutor, then by its intonation and mood you can understand the direction in which you should move.

Just a letter in this regard is slightly inferior to live communication. Nevertheless, one should not be so categorical about writing a letter. Firstly, when a person writes, he can fully open up and indicate his strengths. For example, an employer may like the job seeker's literacy and ability to express their thoughts. Why is this so? Because a person is left alone with his thoughts and at the same time makes contact with an invisible interlocutor.

Secondly, in the letter we can say without hesitation about a strong desire to work in the exact place that we liked. However, there is another drawback here - the employer may simply not respond to your impulse. There are many reasons for this. The recipient, for example, will not see your message among dozens of others, or the letter will go to the "SPAM" folder. In this case, it is better not to wait for a long answer, but to call back and ask about the fate of the sent letter.

Hello (name and patronymic of the employer)!

My name (indicate your name and surname). 05/18/2019 I took part in an interview for the position of head of the sales department, which was organized by your company. After this event, I established myself in the desire to work in your team. I am very grateful for the careful attitude to my candidacy.

I would like to know about the decision. Therefore, the question arises: can I count on a positive decision and getting a position? I look forward to hearing from you soon! Let me contact you as soon as possible in order to clarify the result.

Sincerely, (your name and surname). Tel .: (indicate your telephone number).

In order to be sure to read the letter, give it a high priority using the function in the mail program. So your message will be different in the box from other letters in color.

And the last thing you can do is call yourself, despite doubts and embarrassment. You need to understand that in business there is no place for oppression and insecurity. Otherwise, if you continue to succumb to these feelings, you will never achieve anything.

Therefore, after the interview is still worth a call. There is nothing shameful in excessive persistence. If even you do not succeed, then no one will blame for excessive anxiety.

So what should you say if you decide to call and find out the result? This is where you need to approach the issue with particular seriousness, because due to the lack of experience in conducting telephone conversations you can get confused and lose a vacant place forever.

It also happens that job applicants with vast experience and excellent knowledge of their job cannot immediately and fully show their abilities. A qualified employee thinks more about work than about how to properly present his candidacy to an employer.

Initially, in a conversation you have already shown some positive aspects. Now when you mention yourself again, you need to fix the result. This must be done so that the employer is finally convinced that in front of him is exactly the person he needs.

For this reason, you should take care of some tips that you can use when talking on the phone. To do this, take a notebook and write down there those words that will need to be said at the beginning of the conversation and at the end.

First of all, you need to greet the person at that end of the line. Write greetings on paper. After the greeting, you must introduce yourself and remind yourself of the past interview and indicate the purpose of your call.

It is advisable to pronounce the words clearly and not chatter. The answer will follow. What can it be? Here are three options at once: either they will tell you about an unconditional refusal, or they will tell you that the decision has not yet been made, or you will be invited to work.

If the decision has not yet been made, then you should apologize for the anxiety and say that you will call back a little later. If there was a refusal, then politely say goodbye.
