What to Do After Submitting a Job Application

Posted on 7/5 by Brittany Park

You’re looking for work, and you just sent out your resume. So, what are the next steps? Here’s what to do after submitting a job application.

Steps to Take After Submitting a Job Application

  1. Keep a List

    Every time you apply for a job, write down the date, the company, and the outcome. Recording this information allows you to track and improve your progress. For example, if you reworked your resume and then landed an interview, you’ll know you’re headed in the right direction.

  2. Follow the Company on Social Media

    Liking or following businesses where you applied is a wonderful way to learn more about the company. However, be careful about connecting with individual employees. Applying at an organization and immediately sending friend requests to everyone who works there is too much.

  3. Use Your Network

    If you DO happen to know someone at the business where you applied, use this to your advantage. Even a single personal connection can put your resume at the top of the pile. Of course, don’t be overzealous or demanding when asking for help. Your best bet is a simple, “Hey. I sent in an application to your company today. Would you be able to offer any advice?”

  1. Have Your Phone Ready

    You may receive a response within a few weeks or within a few hours, so be prepared. Turn on your phone and keep it nearby. In case you happen to miss the call, make sure your voice mail message sounds professional.

  1. Read Your Email

    Some companies communicate through email instead of phone calls. Therefore, open your inbox a couple of times per day. Also, if you do receive a message, examine it carefully. There may be a link to schedule an interview at the bottom of the page.

  2. Follow Up

    Checking on the status of your application is a smart idea IF you do so correctly. Before you contact the organization, reread the job description. If they ask you not to follow up, DON’T. Additionally, wait at least one to two weeks before you reach out. As with networking, act interested and enthusiastic but not desperate. For more guidance, check out How to Follow Up on a Job Application: An Email Template.

  3. Continue Applying

    Finding a job can be a long-term progress. If you’ve sent out ten applications and heard NOTHING, don’t give up. Your eleventh may be the one that lands you a position. Or, if you aren’t having as much luck as you had hoped, reconsider your strategies. You may need to revise your resume, better utilize your network or be more proactive. Remember, a few minor changes to your application tactics may be all that’s standing between you and your next job.

When a diamond of a human being comes though – it has got to feel as good as it does for me to have the privilege and pleasure of having her come to my home! My home sparkles and both friends and relatives always compliment me on the spotless condition of me home.

Client

It takes a village to make this work and thanks to Anodyne, hospice and the client’s sister, we were able to keep her at home until the end.

Case Manager of Client

Dear friends, thank you all for all you did for Tom and I the past few years. I got to keep him home and it made his quality of life so much better.

Wife of Client

I would like to say thank you to each of the coordinators I worked with at Anodyne. Anodyne was my first job in Boston, It’s a pleasure to serve their clients. After 4 years, I would like to say to anyone who would like to work with Anodyne you can do it. The best part of Anodyne is they always have work for you!

Home Health Aide Employee

Thank you for the support and opportunities the company has provided me over the course of the last seventeen years. You and your team have created a climate that makes it a pleasure to come to work and I will miss your company.

Home Health Aide Employee

I would like to commend my mother’s PCA who was with her until the end. She was personable, professional, highly skilled, and fully engaged with my mother. To do this work is challenging enough, but to do it with true caring and compassion is remarkable. Two days before she died, my mother told me how she had really liked her, that she was a big help to her in the brief time they had known each other. Our whole family noted how her presence lifted my mother’s spirits.

Family of Private Duty Client

My mother was a very private and reserved individual and the Anodyne Home Health Aide found ways to carefully build their relationship. During the time she spent working with my mother, she provided her with much needed companionship and conversation and has brought life out in my mother that I haven’t seen in years.

Daughter of Private Duty Client

All too often we do not thank those who help us. My coordinator is always professional, a problem solver and caring for my needs. The workers sent to my home have raised the bar in terms of excellence. They have always been on time and go above and beyond when helping me.

Client

I would thank you here, there or anywhere for this opportunity you gave us. We are all very happy and thankful

Student in HHA Training

Just a few words to let you know how much I appreciate the opportunity given to us to be a better care giver. This training increases our knowledge of the services that we provide to our client. We gained valuable information that we can use as guidelines. For me, every time I step in a client’s home I will remember EARS, a notation I learned from the training. EARS= Empathy, Acceptance, Respect and Support. Thank you!
