hey everybody Don Georgevich here have
you ever been on a job interview where
everything went well the employer liked
you and you liked them and they seemed
really interested in hiring you and they
said okay great we'll give you a call
next week and then you never hear from
them one week goes by two weeks go by
three weeks go by no word no phone call
no email what are you supposed to think
well I'll tell you when you don't hear
back from an employer this is not a sign
that they're not interested in you and
so I'm here today to tell you to never
take silence as a sign that an employer
is not interested in you just because
you didn't hear back that in the email
unit didn't call you it doesn't mean
that they're not interested in you
there's a lot of reasons that they
didn't call you back one I mean maybe
they forgot it's possible it happens or
maybe they wanted to call you back but
the person that they wanted you to meet
was on vacation or maybe that person was
sick or maybe something happened in the
company internally where they had to
delay the hiring for this position
any one of these things can happen but I
know from from our perspective as a job
seeker we're just taking them at their
word at face value they said they're
interested and they'll call but they
don't call so in cases like that it
hurts because someone said that they
were gonna call with and they didn't
call us and we take that as a sign of
that that they're not interested or that
they don't like us and it kind of just
want to makes us crawl up in a little
ball because we've been rejected so many
times before that we just feel this is
another rejection another Wes a silent
rejection but I want to tell you this
when you don't hear back from an
employer whether they said they're gonna
call you back for a second interview or
they said they're going to extend a job
offer to you and and you don't hear back
don't interpret this silence as a sign
that they're not interested
you because they probably aren't
interested in you something happened
inside the company there's so many
moving parts to a company and so many
people within that organization rely on
each other and a lot of things need to
come together before they can schedule a
second interview before they can extend
an offer you may have been waiting for
an offer and they said their get it to
you at the end of the week but it never
came well maybe someone who needed to
approve that offer was on vacation or
maybe they were sick could have been
anything so here's what you can do when
you don't hear back from an employer and
it's simple pick up the phone and call
them just call them up and say you know
hey this is Don George Mitch I'm calling
in about the the interview and I just
wanted to follow up with you to see if
you guys are still on track with moving
forward with this position just a simple
phone call I mean you can use email if
you want to i personally in cases like
this where they said they were gonna
call me and they didn't I like to pick
up the phone and call them I like to be
proactive I'll I'll even leave a voice
message I'll just say hey this is Don
Georgia Mitch I'm following up with you
on the position can you please call me
back at your earliest convenience
something as simple as that
just to let them know that you're still
out there you're still interested in
this position and to to reignite that
relationship that you had that that
seemed to cool off a little bit that's
all you have to do so my advice to you
is to not sit around and wait for them
to do something don't wait for them to
make a move be proactive call them up
and show them that you're still
interested you're still here and you
want this job now I want to give you a
little example this same scenario just
happened to my son now he was
interviewing it's subway and he went in
from the interview everything went well
and he never heard back two weeks went
by two weeks went by and he never heard
back from the interview and he's like
dad they must not like
they don't like me I said Matt go in
there just go in the store and talk to
them and he said no I'm not doing it
they don't like me they don't want me
and I said Matt you have to do this I'm
telling you you have to go in you have
to walk into that store and just ask
them what happened so finally he did
after three weeks he finally went into
the store and asked to see the manager
he just said hey I'm Matt I wanted to
follow up on the interview he had and
you know what they said they said Matt
you're here thank you
we lost your application and we didn't
have your phone number and we didn't
know how to call you we wanted to hire
you so he walked out with the job offer
he sat around for three weeks being
depressed because he didn't hear back
from them but it's because they lost his
application so all he did was just
muster up enough strength to walk into
that store and just say hey I'm Matt I'm
here and that was it that's all it took
and he got the job so you could do this
too so if an employer is told you
they're gonna call you back in a week or
two weeks or or give you a job offer or
whatever it was and you don't hear back
reach out to them reach out to them let
them know that you're still here you're
still interested and hopefully the same
thing will happen to you and you'll walk
away with the job as well that's all I
have for you today thank you so much for
