You hit “Submit” on your application.
Now it’s just a waiting game, right? Not quite!
If you want to boost your chances of landing that interview, there’s still plenty you can do.
Here’s how to stay proactive and get noticed:
Follow Up (Strategically!) – If you applied directly to a company, find a relevant contact (like the hiring manager or recruiter) on LinkedIn and send a short, professional message expressing your interest.
Tailor Your LinkedIn Presence – Many hiring managers check your profile before reaching out. Make sure your experience, skills, and headline reflect what you bring to the table.
Stay Engaged – If you applied through a recruiter, keep communication open. If it’s a direct company role, follow their LinkedIn page and engage with their content – it helps keep you on their radar.
Prepare for the Interview – You never know when you’ll get that call, so research the company, refresh your CV talking points, and be ready to sell yourself.
Keep Applying – Even if you feel great about this role, don’t stop your search. Having options gives you confidence and keeps momentum on your side.
Your job search doesn’t end with an application.
It’s just the beginning.
Stay proactive, stay visible, and stay ready!
