If a company's contact person is on vacation, candidates should find out when he or she will return to work and write it down. They can then be sure to call when the hiring manager returns. If job seekers do reach someone, they should make note of who the contact is and when they talked. This type of organization is even more necessary in the summer because the hiring process is often drawn out over a longer period of time. Do not lose hope.
Old etiquette is back.
Also, the job market has loosened up, so open positions are fair game for more candidates - regardless of the time of year. If candidates are having trouble connecting with companies during the summer, there are things they can do in the meantime. Even though this season brings to mind leisure activities, Tullier warns that it is not the time for employment seekers to be taking a break. They should be working on their resumes and practicing interviews. It will put them in a better mental frame of mind.
