These days it’s not enough to just apply to an open position. You need to take the extra step to ensure that you get noticed. This is why following up is so important.

Following up can take many forms: phone calls, emails, or even hand written notes. This gives the employer an extra reason to look at your application. You can also be sure that your strongest competition is also following up.

Don’t handicap your application before it gets off the ground. Follow up with the employer to help improve your odds of landing the job you want.
