But by the way, if it's Wednesday of the next week and you haven't heard anything back from them, you need to be the one that reaches back out. Nothing too aggressive, but hey. You mentioned you wanted to get back together. I wanted to honor that timeframe. Were you thinking about trying to do something this week or should we look for something next week?

Same thing if they say they're gonna introduce you to somebody. Let a few days go by, but after three or four, if you haven't seen that introduction, follow up. Hey, I just wanted to follow up from our last conversation. I really appreciated your willingness to introduce me to dot, dot, dot. Here's my contact information.

Feel free to forward it on or reply all and copy them on or whatever the case. You can use all kinds of different language. But the idea is you need to be the one owning the follow-up process. Hope this helps.

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss, partner with Thinking Ahead Search, and welcome to the Talent Tree. Today, I wanna talk to you a little bit about interviewing and today's climate. Interviewing today is dramatically different than it has ever been. So interviewing today, it's super wonky. Couple things though that make it great.

Number one, because so many of the interviews are happening either via phone call or Zoom call or something else, the appetite for hiring managers to spend time with a potential candidate has gone way up. They don't have to drive 45 minutes there. They don't have to commit to being there for an hour and a half, then drive another 45 minutes back.

It's literally, all right, give me two minutes to dial up Zoom. We're on the call. 30, 45 minutes later, I hang up. I can move on to the next thing. So the appetite has gone up considerably.

Another good thing is, again, even though the Zoom and some of that isn't as good as the face-to-face, if you do it right and with a lot of patience and practice, it can really help you get to know an organization at a slightly different level. Watch how well they're adapting to all these changes.

It's a great indicator of how they handle change, the way they embrace it, and what kind of technologies they're ultimately interested in investing in when it's necessary. Again, today's environment is different. Zoom is different. I think by now everybody's got at least five to eight outfits that from the waist up look professional. Waist down, shorts, yoga pants, whatever it wants to be.

It's definitely different, but let me assure you, it's still very effective. Now, here's some very basic interview etiquette. Super simple and yet it's amazing to me how often folks forget these basic things. And by the way, this is etiquette for both hiring managers and folks being interviewed. Now, let me be clear. I'm not a career counselor. I'm not a career coach. I am an executive recruiter.

I get paid to bring the right people to the right organizations at the right time. That is my job. However, a big part of that is working with folks because most of the folks that I work with don't interview all the time. It's to coach, train, and teach them how to execute an effective interview. So here they are, six simple things to remember. First and foremost, be on time.
