The job search often feels very long, especially because of the wait. Job applicants wait for the right opportunity, wait for job applications to be accepted, and wait anxiously for the results of the interview. However, patience plays an important role in a situation like this! There are several ways you can do if you want to find out if a job vacancy is still open or has been filled because you haven't received an interview call yet or are still waiting for news after the interview. This wikiHow answers questions about common concerns so you can be prepared to contact recruiters in a professional manner.
Step
Question 1 of 6: How do I inquire about the availability of job opportunities?
Step 1. Contact your personnel manager or hiring manager
They are personnel authorized to provide information about job vacancies. Check the company website for phone numbers or emails for personnel to call.
Step 2. Ask the availability of the job opportunity you want
After getting the recruiter's phone number, ask for information about opportunities to apply for a job. If there is still an opportunity, have a telephone conversation like having a job interview by asking about the job description, responsibilities that must be fulfilled, and the criteria for becoming an employee. When calling, be polite and don't talk too long if the recruiter seems very busy.
Step 3. Thank you for your time
To end the conversation, thank him for his help and say your name so he can remember. Tell him that you will be sending a cover letter soon so he can read your bio.
Question 2 of 6: Can applicants ask about progress after submitting a job application?
Step 1. Yes, if there is no news about 1 week
This step shows the recruiter that you really want to work. In addition, you seem ready to be a responsible and dedicated employee at work.
Question 3 of 6: How do I follow up on a job application after I send my cover letter?
Step 1. Email the recruiter if you know the email address
The easiest way to ask about the progress of a job application is via email. Find out the recruiter's or personnel's email address by reading the company's website or the job application process page.
Step 2. Contact the recruiter via the phone number listed on the company website
If you don't have a contact email address, calling the recruiter is the next right option. You can call the recruiter directly or through the operator and ask to be connected to the recruiter's extension number.
Question 4 of 6: What should I say when asking about the progress of a job application?
Step 1. Ask the recruiter:
"Please inform, have you received a job application letter and biodata on behalf of (mention the name you include in your biodata)?" First, make sure he has received your bio and has met the requirements so that it can be processed further. If there are problems, either from the applicant or recruiter, maybe you need to resend the job application letter.
Step 2. Ask for the duration of the hiring process for new employees
Submit a question or statement that shows that you want to find information about the job application without appearing pushy. For example, say to a recruiter, "Please let me know how long it usually takes to recruit a new employee for this job."
Step 3. Ask whether you need to provide additional information
If you do not provide complete information when submitting a job application, the recruiter will not be able to give approval due to lack of information. So ask for confirmation by asking, "Do I need to submit additional information to complete a job application?" Then, thank them for taking the time before hanging up the phone or email.
Question 5 of 6: How long do I need to wait for news after a job interview?
Step 1. Wait for news of the interview results about 1 week after the promised date
A very busy recruiter or interviewer may not have had time to contact you for news. Email the interviewer or recruiter asking for the results of the interview if a week has passed since the promised date.
Question 6 of 6: How do I inquire about the availability of job opportunities after the interview?
Step 1. Send an email to say that you hope to be hired
Start the email by saying that you appreciate the opportunity to be interviewed and are still waiting for further news. End the email by expressing your desire to be hired. For example:
