Make Follow-Up Calls
After you've sent two copies of your materialsthe original and the second-submission versions make a note on your calendar to call in three business days to follow up. This will allow you to
Confirm that your materials were received successfully (sometimes they don't make it to the intended recipient, especially if they were submitted electronically).
Find out what will happen next in the hiring process.
Make a personal connection with a screener. Use these steps to follow up effectively:
1. Follow up three business days after you've sent your second submission.
2. Call the company and ask to speak to the hiring manager in charge of the position ('whose name you should already know).
3. Communicate the following information, either directly to the individual, or on his or her voice mail:
"Hello, this is YOUR NAME. I am calling regarding the POSITION TITLE currently open within your organization. I want to confirm that my application material were received successfully, and also to find out more about what will happen next in your hiring process."
4. Include your phone number if you're leaving a voice-mail message, and mention that you sent a second set of materials, with a handwritten "Second Submission" message.
