11 Non Teaching Jobs that Positively Impact K-12 Education
Jul 08, 2019
Are you passionate about K-12 education but aren't sure if the classroom is the right place for you? A non teaching job in education management may be your best option. Rather than teaching in front of a traditional classroom, you'd rather put in the hours behind the scenes. You're most interested in helping to develop a school's overall vision and drive successful student outcomes. Maybe, you want to help devise policies and procedures to improve and innovate within the sector. Does this sound like you? If so, a non teaching job in education management might be an ideal fit. In this role, you'll help to drive and organize the day-to-day functions of a school, district, or network. Today, we're sharing a few examples of the exciting non teaching career possibilities available in schools. Ready to learn more? Let's jump in! 1. Director of Curriculum and Instruction Does the idea of overseeing curriculum and teaching standards appeal to you? If so, this career is an ideal fit. In this role, you'll help develop the curriculum used at elementary and secondary schools in your district. Then, you'll help implement it into the schools and later perform tests to gauge its effectiveness. In addition to ensuring that all materials are effective, you'll also ensure that they meet state educational standards. Some of your common duties will include training and supporting teachers, meeting with administrators, and reviewing student scores. 2. Compliance Manager Especially in grades K-12, there are a myriad of local, state and federal standards that all schools must meet. Providing evidence that these measures are met is a full-time job, taken care of by a Compliance Manager. In this position, you'll be responsible for keeping accurate and complete records of all relevant compliance documentation. You may also perform ad-hoc data analysis as required. From meeting minutes to tax forms, the list of data to track can be endless, but with a proven process in place, you can make sure no important detail falls through the cracks. 3. Data Manager There are many data points to identify, organize and manage within a school. From grades and behavior to assessments and degree requirements, this information is useful, though it can be challenging to effectively gather data, analyze it, and then implement changes in the classroom in the real-time manner necessary to improve outcomes. That's where a data manager comes in. Data Managers can often play a critical role in using data to analyze situations, identify problems, and propose solutions. They dig through the insights to find patterns, spot trends and create forecasts to help institutions make more informed decisions. Then, they use data-driven analyses to drive new strategy, whether it is helping teachers realize where they should focus their efforts or helping charter schools decide which neighborhoods to target and where to find a new facility. 4. Manager of Talent Acquisition It's no secret that the staff makes the school. To this end, it's important to hire great people. This is where the Manager of Talent Acquisition comes in. Here, you'll recruit and hire personnel based on their alignment with the schools' mission and goals, along with their qualifications and background. Your overall goal will be to bring the best people onto your team, and you'll get there by collaborating with team leaders and office staff members. You'll help create job descriptions, sort through and weed out resumes, conduct the phased interview process and support in determining the final hiring decision. In some cases, this might mean problem-solving for ways around hard-to-hire roles. You'll also create an annual sourcing plan that aligns with your school's recruitment needs and talent strategy. 5. Director of School Transformation Would you like to be at the helm of a concerted effort to drive change within an educational institution ? If so, consider becoming a Director of School Transformation. To improve student achievement and the schools' academic culture, you'll work one-on-one with principals, teachers, leadership teams and community members. You'll determine what's working and what isn't, along with what needs to change. In some cases, this might mean launching innovative school models. Or, you may help the department leads develop objectives, set goals and execute priority initiatives. Either way, you prioritize performance at every turn. This may also mean leading a more robust talent development program at your school, helping to find and hire qualified and dynamic teachers. You'll also help set operational goals, along with routine check-ins to track progress. 6. Family Engagement Manager Studies show a positive correlation between family involvement in schools and student achievement. To this end, a Family Engagement Manager can help encourage family participation in school-wide events and related community outreach efforts. This person will help strategize, support and create initiatives that connect families to individual student achievement and the school's work as a whole. In some cases, this may include small but important changes, such as helping schools create a newsletter that details all upcoming events so parents can learn about them and attend. Or, it may require implementing special support, such as translation services, to make sure all family members have access to the same news and updates.  7. Instructional Coach Want to help teachers refine their instructional practices so as to meet every child where they are and ensure significant academic growth?  You can do so as an Instructional Coach . With this role, you'll take evidence-based practices into classrooms, often meeting one-on-one or in small groups with personnel. Is there an interesting and innovative new way to engage students? What about a kind of smart technology that makes lectures easier? You'll share these insights during your time together, offering on-the-spot training that can speed adoption. Of course, some of the secrets of great instruction aren’t innovative tools, but rather timeless practices. To perform well in this role, you must be able to bounce back and forth between both, staying abreast on all of these updates and innovation yourself while becoming an expert coach. To this end, this role is both hands-on and research-based. The overall goal with this position is two-fold. Not only are you helping teachers hone and improve their craft, but you're also enhancing the student learning environment. 8. Grants Manager School fundraising efforts have come a long way since bake sales and cake walks. Now, there are myriad of donors interested in helping schools succeed. This might be an individual looking to give every year or a local organization that allocates a set portion of funds for this very purpose. Keeping track of all the details can be challenging, but if you're a Grants Manager , this is where you shine. If you're a strong writer, you'll excel in this role, as it centers on building relationships through the written word. You'll write grants that provide a detailed history of your school's mission, financial needs and plans for the future. As you grow in this role, you'll strengthen and cultivate existing donor relationships with local foundations and corporations, encouraging them to give year after year. 9. Business Operations Manager A successful school operates like a well-oiled machine. Do you want to be the one who helps to manage the daily endeavors of your institution? Become a Business Operations Manager ! You'll always be on the lookout for tools and resources that can improve school success and functionality. You may also participate in school activities, plan projects, coordinate parent meetings, facilitate parent communication, and manage vendor partnerships. In a nutshell? You're the go-to guy or gal that keeps the whole place running smoothly. You won't do it alone, though. You'll also oversee a team of school operations professionals. Together, you'll handle logistical tasks, including: Driving policies and procedures across the school community Financial management and assistance Ensuring school health and safety Overseeing school beautification efforts Engaging and advocating for family involvement 10. Director of Finance Do you have a knack for managing money ? With the proper education and training, you could become a Director of Finance in your local school district. In this job, you'll manage and oversee all academic business functions and make sure there are enough resources to go around. You'll also supervise and manage all the financial affairs of each school, develop a budget and set long-term financial goals. In addition, you'll manage cash flow, revenues, and expenditures, communicating all results to the School Board. When tax season rolls around, you're responsible for preparing and filing your school's forms, as well as ensuring a clean audit. You'll also make sure all financially-required information is turned in to the state and federal governments. 11. Director of External Affairs Interested in being the face of your school ? As the Director of External Affairs, you will be. As the name implies, this person is responsible for a majority of the public-facing work that a school does. This can range from student recruitment to fundraising. To ramp up support, you'll craft and expertly tell your school's story to all key stakeholders. You can do so through print and digital marketing materials as well as in-person visits, social media outreach and more. Find a non teaching Job in Education Management That Fits You When you want to make a difference and leave a lasting impression, a non teaching job in education management fits the bill. In this industry, you'll get to help shape the policies, strategies, and goals of the schools around you. As you do, you'll connect with teammates, students and faculty members alike.

11 Steps to a Successful Job Search
Jan 16, 2019
Looking to start a new job, but overwhelmed and unsure how to start the job search process? If you find yourself asking questions like, “How do I begin my job search?” or “How do I prepare myself for a successful job search?”, here are 11 steps to a strong job search that will help you improve your chances of getting the dream job you’ve always wanted! Reflect on the jobs you’ve had in the past. Ask mentors for feedback on your work ethic, strengths and areas of improvement. Research and establish what your ideal roles are. Determine where you’re going to job search. Network online and offline. Update your resume. Build on the skills you’re missing by taking on extra, relevant responsibilities. Prep for your interview. Refresh and clean up your social media pages. Determine when to notify your boss. Think of who you’ll want as your references. 1. Reflect Reflection is a valuable and often forgotten aspect of the job search process. Rather than jumping right into the job boards, step back and evaluate why you’re looking for a new job. This helps you frame what your next best move should be. You can start by first taking these 3 where's regarding your career into consideration: Where have you been? Where are you now? Where do you want to be? Analyzing why you want to switch jobs will bring clarity to what the RIGHT job looks like for you. In addition, think about your experiences in your past roles. Which responsibilities did you enjoy the most and which could you do without? WHY did you like or dislike them? Was it the organizational culture? The work itself? The lack of support and/or experience needed to truly succeed? What did you learn from your past jobs that can help you in your next role? What are your current skills? How have they helped you in your career? Will they be enough to serve you effectively in the next stage of your career? Asking these questions at the beginning of your job search process will help you establish a clear vision for what you want your “next ideal role” to be. Write down your observations to serve as a reference point when you’re conducting your job search. This will help you align your professional interests, aspirations, and skills to the jobs that fit you best. 2. Talk to Mentors Get feedback from the people you know and trust. Set up meetings with your mentors, senior leaders, colleagues or close friends who are familiar with your work and talents. Ask them to give you frank feedback on your skills, strengths, weaknesses, work ethic and professionalism. Make sure it’s someone who isn’t afraid to offer constructive criticism. Sugar-coated advice isn’t good for the health of your career. What do they see you doing? How do they see you transitioning into this dream role you’ve established? Gaining a candid understanding of who you are and how others see you can help you better position yourself for your next best opportunity and identify what you need to refine in order to get there. In addition to receiving feedback, it’s good to get an understanding of what your ideal roles require. If you know someone who has your dream role, ask to shadow them for a day or conduct an informational interview to get a better grasp of what the job entails and how to prepare for it. 3. Research & Solidify Job Preferences   To streamline your job search, it’s important to focus only on the specific types of jobs in which you are genuinely interested. The more the job resonates with you, the more likely you are to stay with the organization, produce good work and optimize your professional growth. Take into consideration all the things you mentioned during your reflection time and how it compares to where you see yourself in the future. Think about: Your Impact: At the end of the day, what kind of impact do you want to make in your community? How would you like your role to change the lives of the children and families you’re serving? What solution do you want to solve as it pertains to the kid’s educational well-being? If you need help pinpointing this, you may want to spend more time analyzing why education is the right space for you. Your Role : What things did you enjoy about the roles you’ve had before? What were the things you were really good at and would you want to do them again? What work would you delegate to someone else if you could? Were you satisfied with the roles and responsibilities you had? What activities, challenges, and responsibilities do you want to do/own in this next role? Your Organization : Did you like the organizational structure of your past jobs? Do you prefer working with smaller, intimate teams who do a little bit of everything or do you prefer working with larger companies where the work is more structured and predictable? Your Location: What are your preferred locations? Do they provide activities that are conducive to a good work/life balance? Are there opportunities for career advancement there or will professional growth be limited? Are these location preferences must-haves, or are they nice-to-haves? Your Pay : What is your preferred salary based on your personal and professional aspirations? What is the minimum salary you’re willing to accept? How does it compare with your current and anticipated cost of living? Does this salary match the industry norm? Once you have a good idea of what your ideal role will look like, narrow down the absolute necessities of your dream job. By necessities, we mean that if these basic elements were in place, you would be content and confident that you’re in an environment where you both enjoy today and are preparing for your ideal career of tomorrow. Limiting yourself with too many “nice-to-haves” disguised as “must-haves” may eliminate great prospective roles. After you’ve clearly defined your job necessities, pinpoint the roles that most align with your list. Then, research different organization types where you could potentially perform that role. According to your list, you may prefer one organizational type over the other based on structure, culture, work style, a barrier to entry, etc. If you need help finding out where to start, sites like O*NET do a great job of explaining what is required for certain positions within the education space including, tasks, technology skills, knowledge, abilities, work activities, work styles, salary and much more. It even shows which positions have projected growth in the future. Here’s an example for Education Administrators.   Summary Report for Education Administrators, Elementary and Secondary Schoo l Plan, direct, or coordinate the academic, administrative, or auxiliary activities of public or private elementary or secondary level schools. Sample of reported job titles: Athletic Director, Elementary Principal, High School Principal, Middle School Principal, Principal, School Administrator, School Superintendent, Special Education Director, Superintendent, Vice Principal Median wages (2017): $94,390 annual Employment (2016): 251,000 employees Projected growth (2016-2026): Average (5% to 9%) Tasks Evaluate curricula, teaching methods, and programs to determine their effectiveness, efficiency, and use, and to ensure that school activities comply with federal, state, and local regulations.   Collaborate with teachers to develop and maintain curriculum standards, develop mission statements, and set performance goals and objectives.   Direct and coordinate activities of teachers, administrators, and support staff at schools, public agencies, and institutions.    4. Determine where you’re going to look Find out where your next opportunity is and how you’re going to get there! In determining where you’re going to look for these opportunities, take these two things into consideration: How can I find the most opportunities? How can I find the opportunities that closely align with my ideal roles ? One way to optimize your job search is to look for roles on niche job boards and/or professional association websites. If you use websites that specialize in curating roles in the education sector, you’re more likely to find jobs you’re truly interested in, faster! The Spring hiring season is the best time to start applying for roles, but you have to know where they are. If you’re interested in working in education, but you’re looking to exercise your talents outside of the classroom, job searching through teacher-centric job boards can be a little difficult and at times frustrating. TrulyHired is a great way to discover the hard to find, non-teaching jobs in education you’ve been seeking. To confidentially stay abreast of current, relevant jobs in education, you can sign up for job alerts here . Another way to optimize your job search is by using industry-specific staffing or recruiting agencies. These agencies allow you to articulate your professional wants and needs to someone who will seek out opportunities on your behalf. If you’re looking for jobs in education, specifically non-teaching jobs, WorkMonger is a great way to receive job matches about a variety of non-teaching jobs that match your professional preferences. All you have to do is complete a JobSeeker profile. Managing your job seeking activities is also pertinent to your search success. Organizing your job searching process can help you keep track of: When to follow up: Know when you need to circle back with an employer so you can stay top of mind during their process. Who to follow up with: Following up with the right people during the process helps you build rapport with the hiring team which allows you to stand out. Where you applied: If you see that one website is getting better results than the other, then that’s a good indication that employers are actively looking for candidates on that platform. That’s where you want to be. Communication trends: Keep tabs of your progress and track communication trends such as which roles you’re getting traction on, which ones are taking a little longer, how people prefer to contact you for different stages of the process and how long it takes for employers to generally get back to you. Observing and acting on these trends will help you be more proactive and strategic in your follow up efforts. Your perceived brand : Once you have good records of all of the roles you have applied for, eventually you will get a good sense of how your resume is performing and how you’re being perceived. For example, imagine you’re applying for both middle management and seasoned leadership roles, but you keep getting callbacks for only the middle-management positions. This likely indicates your resume isn’t highlighting the skills required for upper-level management. Organize and control your job seeking process by using a spreadsheet like this .  5. Network Another way to optimize your search is to find the people who can help you get there! Reach out to people in your current network to see if they know of any job openings in your areas of interest. If they’re not privy to specific job openings, see if they can lead you in the right direction with a reference, an event to attend or an organization to join. Let them know what you’re looking for, why you’re looking and what you would like to bring to the table. If you’re new to the education space or the people in your circle aren’t connected with anyone at an educational organization, join a professional association or a MeetUp group. Likewise, you may want to start getting familiar with people in ed-centered Linkedin or Facebook groups. These are great ways to surround yourself with people who are familiar with what you want to do. Attending education conferences and local networking events can also help widen your net to find relevant opportunities. 6. Update your resume As you’re applying for jobs, you want to make sure you have a fresh, relevant resume that resonates with your audience - the hiring managers. Your resume should tell a story of what you’re interested in, what you’re doing to advance yourself, and where you aspire to go. It should also reflect a track record of your results, skills and how you were able to make a positive impact on both your team and the communities you serve.    A great place to start is to identify a few job descriptions for roles that you are very interested in. Then, analyze the job descriptions in depth, paying special attention to a) the break down of day-to-day responsibilities, b) the experience required, and c) the aspects that you know align closely with your experience, skills, and talents. With this information in mind, tailor your resume to highlight in concrete ways why you’re the best person for jobs such as these. As you’re editing your resume, remember to focus on including the most relevant information. For help on how to structure and optimize your resume , read this blog. 7. Fill in the Gaps If you start to see a number of gaps between the job description and your resume, you may not be ready for this role, at this point in time. However, there a few suggestions on how you could fill those voids. If the gaps are knowledge-based, seek out an online course, classes or licenses that can help you fill the void and add value to your resume. If your gaps are experience-based, think through how you might gain the requisite skills at your current place of employment. Perhaps volunteer for a cross-functional team or ask your supervisor if you can begin to take on new projects that will allow you to grow in the areas in which you are interested. You can also look outside your current employment for experiential growth, such as serving in small roles in one of the education associations we spoke about earlier. Collectively, these steps can help improve your skills and add the experience you’ve been missing on your resume.   8. Interview prep Practicing your interview skills is a must to help you land the job you’re seeking! Now that you have a good idea of what the role generally requires, find ways to sync your experience and aspirations into your interview storyline. Research information about the organization ahead of time. Then, weave your narrative into what they’re looking for. For example, if you’re applying for a leadership role, be sure your stories demonstrate your awesome leadership skills, such as guiding your team to reach a common goal, delegating assignments based on your team’s strengths, creating an agile execution plan, etc. Review your resume and reflect on your past experiences to determine which stories you’d like to highlight in your interviews. Be able to explain what you’ve done (use concrete, measurable outcomes whenever possible), why you included it on your resume and how it relates to the job you’re applying for. Remember, the only thing the hiring team has to go on is your application, resume, and social media presence (we’ll get into that later). Also, you’ll want to reframe how you think of interviews. Rather than being interrogated by someone on the other end of the desk, think of it as a candid conversation. Anticipate building rapport and making a genuine connection with the interviewer. Remember - interviews are a two-way street; you’re evaluating them just like they are evaluating you. Having the right perspective can help you mitigate anxiety and create an opportunity to have open, insightful conversation about a role you both find equally intriguing and important. To start, try to find out who you are interviewing with in advance if at all possible. Once you know, look up information about them on LinkedIn and on the company website. In addition to making sure you understand their role, jot down the information you can use as rapport points, like universities you’ve both attended, organizations you’re both members of, roles you’ve both held or experiences you’ve shared. Once you have a good idea of who the person is and how they contribute to the mission of the company, figure out what you’re going to say by conducting a mock interview. It’s a great way to decrease interview anxiety and increase your confidence in how you’re going to respond to the interview questions. You can do a practice run with close colleagues.

For more great tips on how to prepare before, the day of AND after the interview read 12 Steps to a Great Interview here .   9. Refresh your Social Media More and more, employers are using social media as a part of their candidate “background checks”. When you’re working in the education sector, understanding who your candidates are inside and outside of the organization is very important. Not only are you representing yourself but you’re also a reflection upon the kids, staff and communities you’re serving, so make sure whatever social media pages you have that are accessible to the public are cleaned up and acceptable for the organization you’re applying to before you apply. One of the best ways to positively place yourself on an employer’s radar is by utilizing LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a valuable tool that most professionals fail to maximize. Not only are employers checking your page after you apply, but recruiters are also specifically seeking potential candidates for jobs they have available through LinkedIn. If your page isn’t updated, more likely than not, you’re not going to be included in that outreach number. Who knows, an updated and accurate LinkedIn profile could land you your dream job! LinkedIn is also the perfect social media platform to showcase everything you couldn’t fit on your resume. It’s a great way to highlight your knowledge, expertise and professional voice, on your terms. So it’s important to keep your Linkedin updated with current responsibilities, share and comment on industry related news, offer sound advice and opinions on things going on in your field and connect with other professionals in your lane. If you need help figuring out the best way to utilize your LinkedIn Page, here are a few LinkedIn hacks to get you started.   10. Determine when to notify your boss If you’re thinking of leaving your current job sooner rather than later, determine when you should give your boss a heads up. Most of us are familiar with the 2 weeks notice rule. But if your position is a little more complex, you may want to reconsider when you need to notify your employer so they can properly prepare to delegate your responsibilities and find a replacement. In this WorkMonger blog, how to break up with your boss , we break down the appropriate notification time based on your management level: “In most mid-level roles, four to six weeks is appropriate while with more senior roles you might be more around two to three months’ notice, ultimately reaching as much as six months’ notice for c-level positions. Put some thought into how much notice to give though based off your unique situation; too little and you’ll leave on a bad note and not set your organization up for success. Too much and there won’t be the urgency to replace you.” Hopefully, you’re parting on good terms. But in the event that you’re anticipating a bad breakup due to retaliation, hostile work environment or other unfortunate circumstances, you’ll want to explore your options and what’s in the best interest of you and the parties involved. This is especially important when you work in such a close-knit sector like education. You don’t want to burn bridges, but you do want to make a clean, cordial and professional break. 11. Think through your references The last step is to create a solid list of positive and supportive references. If the hiring managers and/or recruitment agencies call these individuals, make sure they are talking to people who are familiar with the scope of your experience, work ethic and overall value of what you bring to the table. Choose 2-3 individuals who can offer relevant insight as it pertains to the role you’re applying for. It’s helpful if they can speak on your behalf from a macro and/or micro level point of view. This will give the hiring manager and/or recruiter a well-rounded perspective of who you are as an employee. If you don’t know who to add to your reference list, consider: Your current manager or supervisor Past managers or supervisors Leadership team members you worked with frequently Current peers or colleagues familiar with your work Happy clients Mentors / Advisors Professors / Teachers Friends who are familiar with your work and talent Now, of course, you don’t want to just add your references to the list without telling them. Be sure to notify them in advance. Let them know you’re looking for opportunities and ask if they would be willing to serve as a reference and, if so, how they prefer to be contacted. Nowadays, people are reluctant to answer numbers or emails they don’t know, so make sure they’re aware someone might be contacting them to get some input on your qualifications. Explain the overall premise of the jobs you’ve been applying for, what they’re looking for in a candidate and the key points you want them to highlight if and when the hiring team calls. By doing this, your references will have more time to conduct research on the companies, curate stories as it pertains to the roles and properly prepare for the reference interview questions.

4 Reasons Why No One Has Called You After Your Interview
Oct 09, 2018
Wouldn’t we all love to know how we did in an interview that same day? If only! Unfortunately, that rarely happens. In fact, not only do you rarely hear the same day, many times a week or two (or longer!) can go by with no response. If/when this happens to you, here are some circumstances that can take place during the hiring process that may be the cause of the delay. We’re counting down the 4 main reasons here.   Supply and Demand May be In the Organization’s Favor If you interviewed for a position in a popular city or at a prominent organization, more than likely the hiring team is swamped with an influx of interested jobseekers. This means it may take longer for the team to sort candidates which in turn may prolong their turnaround time for calling you back with a decision. More applicants, especially quality applicants, means the decision makers must allocate even more time to analyzing each person before narrowing down their top prospects. Although this is a good problem for an employer to have, it creates increased work for the hiring team which entails sorting through dozens (sometimes hundreds) of resumes, cover letters and emails. And that doesn’t include scheduling and coordinating interviews with their colleagues, you, AND all the other qualified applicants as well. This process can take several weeks to organize.   Too Many People Are Involved in the Decision Making Process The number of people involved in the interview process can also dictate how long it takes to hear back from an organization. The hiring team can range from one person to a full committee that evaluates every candidate and decides on a prospect together. Bureaucratic company hiring procedures can be lengthy depending on the importance, immediacy and intricacy of the role. The more responsibility the role requires, the more time and input will be put into making a decision. In our industry, it’s common for education non-profits, school districts, charter schools, and other education-support organizations to have multidimensional and multi-touch hiring processes. Consequently, after you finish the interview process, serious consideration for a candidate could possibly take up to several weeks to a month before you hear back about a position.   The Hiring Process Begins to Get Complicated or Convoluted If you’ve been involved behind-the-scenes when it comes to the hiring process, you know things can get tricky really quick. There are several factors that could throw the entire operation off and postpone an organization’s follow up time. Here are a few examples: The company changes its mind about the role and closes the position in the middle of the process. Something popped up that shifts their attention. The process is put on hold until the situation is handled. This can be a temporary or indefinite pause. A significant grant proposal is declined and eliminates the position. The hiring manager quits and the role you applied for is put on hold until his/her replacement is hired. The team has little to no formal experience conducting a structured hiring process. Believe it or not, although the individual team members may be great at their respective roles – hiring might not exactly be their forte. Rather than conducting an organized, strategic and timely hiring process, their steep learning curve on how to hire well is causing a delay in responsiveness.   You’re the Runner-Up Perhaps, especially if you’ve participated in a multi-level interview process, it may have come down to you and another strong candidate. Unfortunately, if it’s taking really long to hear back from an organization, there’s a good chance that they have offered the position to the best fit candidate and they’re now awaiting a response from that person. The eagerness, availability and interest of the applicant can impact how soon he or she provides an answer to the organization. The longer the person takes to make up their mind, the longer it will take for you to get your update. Sorry. It’s just how it goes.   Follow Up Protocol We know post-interview anxiety can be the worst and it’s tempting to try to pull a response out of a company within a few days. But realistically, you may have to wait longer. It is a good idea to follow up with a thank-you note within 24 hours after your interview. We talked about this in our blog  12 Steps to a Great Interview . A sincere but concise email will suffice. Other creative follow-up tactics that would help you stand out include briefly expounding upon a discussion topic you really enjoyed or providing a small work sample that attempts to solve a problem that was mentioned in the job description and/or the interview. If you would like to see where you stand after the interview , a good rule of thumb is to wait at least 2 weeks to follow up . An exception to this rule would be if you have been offered a position elsewhere. It is okay to let the hiring team know that you remain very interested in joining their team, but that you have an offer from another company and that your timeline is now shorter. It’s human nature – people want what they know someone else wants. Knowing you have another offer will actually make you more desirable. It just might boost your chances AND speed up their decision-making timeline. We hope this information helped mitigate some of your anxiety and gave you a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes of the interview process. Until next time, stand out & do good!
