Nadya;

My experience is it is a good idea to do a follow up call. Show your interest in the position!

Do some research on the company. Your local library may be able to help you. How many employees, how much money the company makes, and other information can be obtained in many instances.

If you have not done so, ask some relevant questions. Ask two or three questions and do not over do it.


1. Is this a new position?
2. What is the immediate assignment and long term goals?
3. Do you work in teams or individually?


Well, I could go on as I have had more experience at this than the average person. At one time I taught classes on how to write resumes, cover letters, and how to interview.

If you do nothing else write a short letter to the person with whom you interviewed and thank them for his/her time and express how much you would enjoy working for the company.

In the mean time continue looking for other positions through the newspaper, professional publications, headhunters, friends, and your network. You are new to the area so friends and network may not exist – so create one through the local user group – I hope you have a user group!
