Is checking the status of a job application worth it?

When calling about a job application status, what should i say if your application has been rejected?

  • Worried about what to say after i ask about the status, what should i say if they say that my application was unsuccessful and what should i say if they say my application was successful

  • Answer:

    If you are told your application was not chosen, they will tell you they will keep it on file for a year or less. Just say thank you and get off the phone. If successful, ask what the next step is. Many times you will not reach the decision maker. If you are chosen, they will contact you. Always continue to apply to other jobs. Never put all your expectations on one place.

If unsuccessful, thank them for their time and politely ask if there was a specific reason why you are not being considered. It may be that there were 20 people better qualified, in which case you really can't do anything about it or it could be something that you can fix - you won't know until you ask. If your application has passed the initial round, you could ask if you are being considered for an interview. remember, not all applications that make the first cut get to the interview stage - the first cut is usually a sorting out of those who are qualified from those not qualified. After that, they usually look at the top qualified people to interview.
