职场英语:面试后该等多久通知
来源:育路外语考试频道发布时间:2008-07-16
You have an interview or two for a position you really want, and everything goes well. It’s a regular love fest between you, the hiring manager, and your future boss. Your heart skips a beat when you’re told, "We’ll have an offer to you by the end of the week."
But what happens when a week goes by and you don’t receive an offer? Should you sit by the phone and wait or throw in the towel?
"Neither!" says career counselor Robin Ryan, author of "60 Seconds & You’re Hired!" She believes professionals should continue their job searches until they receive and accept a formal job offer. "Even if you’re certain an offer is coming, do not stop job hunting. These things have a tendency to fall apart."
Take Action 采取行动
Don’t wait too long to follow up after an offer fails to materialize. Ryan advises, "Contact the person who said you’d be getting an offer no more than a few days after you were to receive it." Ask leading questions about its status. She suggests, "Ask your contact, ’Where are you at with this?’ or ’When will this come through?’"
Ryan adds, "If you’re told that the process is going to take a bit more time, ask, ’Are you talking weeks or months?’"
Know that if you are being stalled, Ryan feels it is risky business to idly wait on an offer. "If it doesn’t come through and you haven’t been searching elsewhere, you’re going to get really depressed," she states. (to be continued)
