In the current?competitive job market, job seekers can find themselves being "ghosted" by employers. If you're not familiar with the term, it's?where communication suddenly stops during the application process. This "ghosting" trend has intensified since the pandemic for a number of reasons?including remote working, economic uncertainty?and increased applicant numbers. Being "ghosted" is incredibly frustrating and disheartening, so I've outlined?five proactive steps below to help you?stay in the loop with prospective employers:

1. Create a Fantastic First Impression: Tailor each application to the job, highlighting your key accomplishments and skills.
2. Follow Up: Send a personalised email the day after applying, and another the week after that if you haven’t heard back.?
3. Ask About Next Steps: During the interview, ask when you can expect to hear back and what the next steps are.
4. Keep in Touch Post-Interview: Send a thank you note and follow up periodically if you don’t hear back.
5. Stay Positive & Persistent: Don’t let ghosting discourage you. Keep applying and stay proactive!

By following these steps, you can take control of your job search and improve your chances of maintaining communication with potential employers. For more useful information about avoiding "ghosting" head over to my blog:
