Something I'v...This is great advice all around. Something I've learned about knowing the right time to follow up (#3 above) is to ask. If you get the interview, on your way out, ask what their timeline is for filling the position. Based on their response, if they want to fill the job 'right away' (which generally means with enough time for the hired candidate to submit a proper notice at his/her current job), give them 5-7 business days, and call. Don't email. Emailing is too impersonal and it's a mistake that many of our generation (the 'millenials' I guess is what we're called) make. Don't waste a chance to let them get to know you better. <br /><br />And as far as online job posts, I wouldn't recommend making it your primary or even secondary source of potential jobs. But still use it. You never know... both my brother and I got our current jobs through Yahoo Hot Jobs and Monster, respectively. But we were among the very first to apply for the job once it was posted. With online job boards, you have to practically pounce on it to even get considered, otherwise your resume will just become one among dozens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
