Why You’re Not Hearing Back


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I talked about the WORST part of the job search…the silence after you apply. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re qualified for a role but just aren’t hearing back. If you’re feeling stuck or starting to take the lack of response personally, this episode we’re sharing exactly how to diagnose the silence, gain experience while unemployed, and the right way to follow up with a hiring manager.

We’re talking about:

  • The “Success Rate” math for your resume
  • How to tell if you have a “you” problem vs. a resume problem
  • Identifying and closing your specific skill gaps
  • Why “inflated” applicant numbers shouldn’t scare you
  • How to gain experience while unemployed
  • The exact script for following up with a hiring manager
  • Why silence isn’t always a rejection
  • Productive ways to handle the waiting period

Listen in to help us help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
