A no in a job search just isn't a yes, yet. 😉 #careercoach #careeradvice #jobsearch #jobseeker

60-second story time on why no is never the final answer. I was recently in a recruitment process. I applied for the role. I got through to the interview. I did the interview, didn't hear back for a while, but when I heard back, I hadn't got the job. Now, I'm a career coach, so don't worry, guys, it happens to all of us. What then happened about a week later is that I was reached out to by that same organization, and they've offered me a different role within the team. Now, this isn't going to happen in every single situation, of course not, but I just want to let you know that just because you get that first no doesn't mean that there isn't another option down the track. So whenever you wrap up an interview process, if it is a no, always make sure that you stay in touch with the recruiter, the hiring manager, the manager of the team, a potential stakeholder, or a colleague. So if an opportunity does come up, you are gonna be the person that they call. Because if you think about it, if you were second or even third in the interview process, you are very close to be the person that they chose. So just because they didn't pick you for this one doesn't mean that they're not thinking of you for another role down the track.
