Why do resumes get rejected?

Naturally, typos or spelling mistakes top the list of things that can get your resume rejected. When employers are looking through numerous applications trying to select the best candidates to interview, why would they select someone who hasn’t taken care enough to submit an error-free resume?

How do you write a HR email asking for an interview result?

Dear [Hiring Manager’s Name], I hope all is well. I just wanted to check in and see if there’s an update on the timeline or status for the [job title] position I interviewed for on [date of interview]. I’m still very interested and look forward to hearing back from you.

What do you do if you haven’t heard back from an interview?

Send a brief email reminding them of three things – who you are, the position you’ve interviewed for, and asking them if they have an updated timeframe for decision making. If your email still goes unanswered, try giving them a call. Call twice to see if you can get them on the phone, but after that leave a voicemail.

Why have I not heard back from an interview in a week?

If you still haven’t heard anything, it may be time to move on. Of course, if the recruiter or hiring manager at the company tells you that it will be a week before you hear back—don’t follow up three times in that week. If they haven’t reached out by the end of that week, then you can begin the 3×3 rule.

Do hiring managers call with bad news?

Is it typical for a hiring manager to call you with an outcome – more or less, a bad outcome? Most of the jobs I have interviewed for, I’ve only received bad news via phone once and that was with a recruiter. These days, usually not. You will typically receive no call or e-mail, except in a few instances.
