After You Notify Securemploy

What Happens After You Notify Securemploy You Are Interested In A Position and Send Securemploy Your Resume?

Securemploy Pinpoint Ads are designed to replace newspaper and trade journal ads. Securemploy faxes your resume to the client, normally within 24 hours of receiving your resume. At that point we are out of the picture.

If the client is interested in your back-ground they will pick up the phone and call you. This is the time to sell yourself. If the client calls you at work and it is hard to talk, tell the client that and suggest 2-3 alternative times when you can talk freely. (If the prospective employer's call catches you by surprise, you may want to call them back in a few minutes after you have collected your thoughts and "mentally switched gears.") Never try to sell yourself to a prospective employer when you can't put your best foot forward. We have all heard the adage: You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Follow-up your phone conversation with the prospective employer with a brief "Thank You" note in which you identify the three ways you feel you can immediately contribute to their organization, based on your initial conversation with them. Be sure to let them know you look forward to talking with them further.

What should you do if they don't call you? Most prospective employers call candidates with 5-10 calendar days of receiving your resume. If you haven't heard by then, odds are you won't hear. The same time frame applies after a phone interview. If you don't hear from them, don't worry about it, just move on to the next opportunity. Remember, most employers don't bother sending out "No Thank You" letters to candidates who respond to newspaper ads either. We wish all employers would promptly notify all applicants either way, just so people would know. Employers don't, and most won't, they view it as simply too expensive. We don't agree, but we don't set the rules.
