Voice Mail Systems: Our Options Have Changed

Ever notice that every voice mail system tells you to listen to all options because their menu has changed?

No matter if it was your first call to the business or you've been calling for 5 years. The same message. The same options. Press one for xyz, press two for billing, press zero to reach an operator. And so on.

If you really want people to listen to options, change up the menu every few hours. Keep us engaged. Annoyed, sure. But fully engaged.

Why aren't they hiring (or rejecting) you yet?

So you've crafted your cover letter, tweaked your resume, aced the interviews, sent great follow-up letters. Weeks have passed. Not a word.

As frustrating as the wait is, don't give up on those long forgotten interviews and applications. As an example, today I received an email regarding a job I applied to in mid-November 2016! I read that I've been in the running for the position for the last 4 and a half months. I didn't get the job, but my application has been moving around in the system.

Just because time has lapsed, don't think you are out of the race. Remember that it's not uncommon for companies to have a process where applications get backed up for weeks before the hiring manager gets a list of candidates, and there's another delay after the interviews

If you must send a second follow-up letter, don't make it about you, be topical and mentioned something you've read in the news about the company's latest movements or success story. Most of all, hang in there.
