How to start following up like a baddie who gets results. #careercoach #jobapplication

Here's the exact follow-up strategy that's going to make your job application stronger every single time. There's a lot of information out there around who you should follow up and when. I'm going to make it really clear for you now. The first reach out, you see the job you like, you try to reach out to the hiring manager or the recruiter to get some intel on the role and pitch yourself before you even submit your application. If you can't get through to the hiring team, you submit your application, and then within 24 to 48 hours, you send your follow-up message. Now you send your follow-up message to the recruiter, obviously, but but you're also gonna send a message to the hiring manager, your potential manager, a potential colleague, a potential peer, and a potential stakeholder. If you are simply relying on just sending that message to the recruiter when they're also gonna be inundated with 300 other messages, you're keeping all your eggs in one basket and you're limiting your chances. You need to be reaching out to at least 3 people in that organization to support your application. If you don't hear anything back, the next time you follow up is gonna be 1 week later. And then after that, 2 weeks. And then after that, every month on month. There's a real difference in a job search from being pushy versus being persistent. And that kind of follow-up cadence is called being persistent. Regardless of whether you get an interview or not, the more you show up in their inbox, the more likely it is that they're gonna give you a shot. And by follow-up, I mean sending a LinkedIn message, an email, or ideally a phone call. I'd actually always prioritize trying to get their phone number first because that's the scary thing that the majority of people are not going to do. Get them on the phone.
