Quitting the job had been on my mind for months. And, what would I do if I quit? Following a passion I hadn’t used in years, I met and interviewed dozens of people on the topic – those who were in jobs they hated, those who were living everyday loving their jobs, HR managers, career coaches, etc. I then make a note of when I should follow up with them. Growing up, many assume they’ll go to college, select a field of study, and stick with it forever.

I just felt like quitting. I never get follow-up calls”. “No These are defeatist statements, implying that you have already given up and ready to wallow in self pity. Repeated failure to get a job will cloud your attitude and make you give yourself reasons to delay things such as applying for more jobs, following up on job leads and channelizing network connections. Instead, you should open up your mind and search for new possibilities.

But, it doesn’t quite help the author learn enough about the candidate fast. At the end of the interview, you have a follow-up meeting with everyone who met with the candidate that day to understand what everyone’s impressions were. I saw a post on a google+ circle that I can’t post to, because I’m not part of the circle. The author has a pretty good hiring process. The interviewing meanders.

Delegate work and follow-up. If that’s not the case, you might as well start assigning tasks to your teams, but don’t forget to follow up with them to ensure productivity levels.

For those of you who have followed CareerAlley, you will know that I’m a big advocate of getting your resume “out there”. There is quite a bit of overlap across the major job search sites (especially the job site aggregators), so using more than 5 job search sites does not add much value.
