What to Do When Employers Do not Call Back

They promised that they would give you a call after your job interview. In your heart, you know that you are qualified for the position. You expect that they are already going to make arrangements with you, but they didn't. This is a exhausting experience for every applicant and it is a poor reflection of any company. The sad truth about this circumstance is that it happens more often than you think.
It was Tuesday when a certain company asked Cheryl for an interview. Cheryl aced the interview and she was very confident with its outcome. The interviewer informed Cheryl that they would call her before the end of the week. When Friday came, Cheryl still did not hear anything from the company. "What should I do?" thought Cheryl. She needed to know badly and found herself in a dilemma.
Cheryl wanted peace of mind, so she asked her cousin Gloria for advice. Cheryl's cousin was a HR manager who worked for a different company. Gloria encouraged Cheryl to inquire about her job application. She also told Cheryl to inquire on Tuesday because it is always inappropriate to inquire on Mondays -- companies are busy gearing up for the week.
That Tuesday, Cheryl made ample preparations for her follow up call. She wrote a script of what she was about to say so that she would sound confident on the line. After dialing, she heard a voice mail and left this message:
"This is Cheryl Jones; I came to your office last Tuesday for a job interview. I would like to inquire about the status of my application and if you are still considering me for the position. I would be grateful if you would call me back today. My contact number is 333-999-8888. Thank you very much."
If a company does not call you back as promised, it is okay to get back to them and leave them a message. Do not call unless you are ready. Make sure that you sound professional and polite. Explain to the company representative that you need to know the status of your application before you consider other opportunities because their company is your best option. Try to follow-up once until the third time. If they still do not respond, consider your application to be denied. Otherwise you will just seem annoying to them.
When you call, it is possible that someone might take your call. When you get this opportunity, make the most of it, and ask about your interview. There are times when the person on the end of the line will show their concern and offer advice. Make sure that you show your gratitude because things like that do not happen often.
Applicants are always curious to know the status of their application and employers realize this fact. Some bosses just wait for the proper time to let the candidates know about the results. However, other employers keep applicants hanging even if they already set a certain date to announce the results. Consider this fact when deciding to pursue a career with this employer. The best thing to do is to continue searching for other jobs while you wait for the application results.
