The problem here? Youre just as swamped as she is, and cant see how youll be able to fit this new project into your schedule.This is where prioritizing your workload becomes hugely important.

3 people get real about leaving a job without having another offer

3 people get real about leaving a job without having another offer3 people get real about leaving a job without having another offerEveryone has a unique career path thats solely their own. But things dont always happen as planned.Think about it You were probably told to get a stable job so you could provide for yourself, and eventually, your family. You were probably told to be the best employee you could be and to keep picking up new skills along the way. But most importantly, you were probably told to always have a plan for your next career step.So what happens when you quit without having another job offer secured?Ladders spoke with several working Americans whove all found themselves in this place before, revealing the realities of taking this route.When this approach isnt all its cracked up to beMeet Beth from Oregon.She told us that she currently works for a healthcare provider, but previously left a stelle about 20 years ago without having another one lined up. At the time, s he felt relieved because her work circumstances were uncomfortable, but said that shes actually not in a better place in her career now as a result.Why? Beth said that she accepted the first offer that came her way, and while her peers made progress, she was earning less than before due to a significant pay cut.Now, she says that shes behind, especially in the retirement savings department.When you quit without a plan, it feels like you have the power. But actually, it puts you in a vulnerable position when it comes to negotiating a new job, especially if your finances are in any way limited. I felt like I had to take the first job that was offered, even though it was a cut in pay. I ended up leaving after a year, wasting everyones time, Beth told Ladders.She said she wishes she hadnt done this, saying, .I should have taken accountability for improving my work life where I was, or spent more time in discernment before leaving.But Beth also has words of wisdom for people who are thin king of jumping ship at work without another job offer Take a good look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you are truly doing your best to make the job you have work. If the answer is yes, then ask the following questions 1. What type of work do you want to do? 2. What environment do you want to do it in? 3. Who do you want to be your boss? I have used those three questions to make several job moves and each one has been successful.When this approach really puts the pressure onMeet Danny from New York.He told Ladders that he does marketing for a technology company. He also doled out a word to the wise Hes in a better place now a decade later, but I do feel a consistent sense that I must work hard and save as much as I can because everything can fall out from under me at any moment. The period without a job, on the plus side, gave me grit.Clearly, things werent always easy for Danny along the way.He told Ladders that he arrived in New York City during the summerof2008, before he rea lized that the entire financial infrastructure of the country was about to collapse. I thought that giving myself a few months to look around for a job was the responsible thing to do but ultimately it took me over a year to find my footing.Overall, he likes where his career is headed. But he has recognized the critical role the series of internships, others may not have been financially secure enough to accept, that opened doors for me and created opportunities have played in his career. He also acknowledged that people have vouched for him and given his career a leg up.Danny provided Ladders with a recommendation for people thinking of taking the same approach I would advise people leaving their job to line up some sort of side hustle or freelance work even if its not steady just to have something to do and to show for that period of time. Use your talents however possible and keep making connections with people who can help you accelerate your career.When this approach turns out to be just what the doctor orderedMeet Donya from Florida.She told Ladders that right now, shes a freelance/consultant and that although shes not opposed to working a permanent job, shes currently enjoying the flexibility of being my own boss.Donya was generally happy about how her career has turned out but was also very clear about the challenges of leaving a job without having another offer elsewhere.Im not naive. I know that not everyone is in the position to just walk away without another job,she told Ladders. Still, I think its important to know what you are willing to sacrifice and where youre willing to bend.She also said that when she made the big career move, she felt excited and powerful. Ive always had a net before leaping, so I was excited about embarking on a new adventure. Theres power in taking control.Although Donya said shes currently in a new chapter in life, which she calls similar, but different, she remains optimistic about whats to come.When asked if shes now i n a better place career-wise because of her decision, she expressed that leaving a job without another is truly more complicated than meets the eye.Financially, not yet. Its only been a few months. I made a six-figure salary, and I know it will take time to make that up. Fortunately, I have a husband that is very supportive, she told Ladders. Emotionally/mentally, yes. I know that if I would have stayed, Id be miserable, and that misery would eventually take its toll outside the job and creep into my personal life.But Donya also gave Ladders a crystal clear set of suggestions for others contemplating taking the same risk.Take inventory an honest look at the situation. As we evolve, we should improve therefore, If you are better today than you were yesterday, then power through if not, its time to move on and find a better climate. I should have done that as soon as I saw the warning signs, but I didnt. I kept making excuses and doubting what I was seeing, she said. As time progresse d, I reached my boiling point and had to jump at that moment. I literally was in the middle of a conversation with my boss and blurted out Im leaving. My last day is next Friday. I would normally like to have some sort of plan. At least an eloquent statement prepared.But still, given the chance, Donya said she would do the same thing all over again - just under the same conditions.Although she sometimes wonders what wouldve happened if she remained at her old job and made things work, or if she let them win by bowing out, she told Ladders, then I remind myself that thats pride and I get off my high horse. Theres something in attacking a challenge head-on, but theres also something in knowing where you want to invest your energy. At the end of the day, I didnt feel this particular challenge was worth the investment. Given the same circumstances, Id do it again.

How to Get a Job Referral From a Facebook Friend

How to Get a Job Referral From a Facebook FriendHow to Get a Job Referral From a Facebook FriendNot long ago I was a job seeker. At one pointI read statistics about employee referrals being the best way to secure a job. This inspired me to focus on networking to get a referral. As a new grad, my network happened to be small and leid so diverse, but that didnt discourage me.I found that the most efficient way to reach out to my network was to engage with them on social media- and for me, the best venue for this was Facebook. I looked for friends with similar majors who had secured offers from attractive companies or who had the right connections, and I learned the following tips.1. Join groups, follow companies and keep an eye on status updatesAt the time I did not realize the value of Facebook Groups, but I found that they provided the profil to broaden my network. Many new grads join groups specific to their schools and majors such as UCLA Class of 2014, Electrical Engineering where they can share updates about career opportunities. Joining the right groups offers access to three types of resources 1. A network with a common interest 2. Information about how people are getting interviews and offers 3. People who know about opportunities and will refer others.You also can follow individual companies. Engaging with a company on social media keeps you in tune with the company culture, industry news, career opportunities and you can see if any of your friends also follow the company. Maybe they work there.Another quick and easy way to search for work is to skim your news feed for posts about job opportunities. I knew a number of people who posted statuses about positions for which their company was hiring.2. Evaluate the referrer and yourselfOnce youve identified a friend who might be able to help you, dont go in blindly. Just because someone is your friend doesnt mean you shouldnt do your homework first.Take time to check out the companys Facebook page, official website and your friends profile. Does the company seem like a good fit? Is your friend someone you can imagine yourself working alongside? If so, the next move it to determine if youre qualified for the position.Dont approach your friend if youre clearly unqualified. Referrers only want to refer those who are marketable and likely to get hired, so you need to present yourself as an asset.Side note If the person isnt yet your friend, Robert Meyer, Simply Hireds Social Media Community Manager, suggests that Its never good to try to connect with someone without a mutual connection or an explanation to why youre friending them. Its best to have a mutual contact friend introduce you. Or you can try to interact with these people in groups on Facebook and then after becoming acquainted, request to connect.3. Use your interactions on social media to build common groundOn Facebook you can uncover lifestyle habits. Take a gander at your friends profile to get a sense of their personality and possibly some insight into their experience with their company.Once you see a conversation-starter, go ahead and reach out. I recommend using private messages because its more personal. Be sincere about the way you approach your friend. Dont jump straight into asking for a referral unless they explicitly posted a status in which they were receptive to referring others. You want to establish a strong relationship because this person needs to be able to vouch for you.On another note, dont forget to curate your own profile to project an authentic yet professional image. Privacy settings are great for this purpose.Bonus TipsThe best policy is to treat a referrer as you would a recruiter.Recruiters like responsive candidates. The speediness of your reply can be an indicator of your enthusiasm for the job, so stay on top of your social interactions. But if your friend isnt responsive, as with recruiters, do not pester them with private messages. Courteously follow up one to two times, ma x, and if there is no response, it is best to move on. Also, youd never forget to thank a recruiter for their time, so remember to show your friend the same appreciation.Your referrer isnt a recruiter (unless they actually are). Unlike recruiters, your referrer knows you on a more personal level, and you have the chance to get honest feedback. Whether you end up getting the job or not, you can ask your referrer for improvement points.The relationship doesnt end after you get the job. You may or may not end up working intimately with this person. Remember when someone refers you, your performance also reflects on them.What goes around comes around. If you do get the job, you want to be a resource to others and pay back the good karma you received. Sharing is caring now that you are equipped with a job, stay aware of any openings at your company and help others the way you were helped.Read MoreHow to Take Advantage of Social Media Networks in Your Job SearchUse Your Network Job Huntin g With Social Media

Do double check with your state even though these figures are comprehensive. It is easy to make a mistake. Where an employee is subject to both the state and Federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages. The Federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 per hour. But, many states require employers to pay more than that - and a number of states had  scheduled increases in 2014. See if you state was one of them. Various minimum wage exceptions apply under specific circumstances to workers with disabilities, full-time students, youth under age 20 in their first 90 consecutive calendar days of employment, tipped employees and student-learners. In 2014, for example,  employees working on  federal service and construction contracts have a new minimum wage of $10.10 per hour.  This new law took effect for all new and expiring contracts on January 1, 2015. Congress periodically raises the minimum wage, so make sure that you are paying the current and appropriate wage by checking with your state and Federal departments of labor. In 2015, the conversation about minimum wage has turned to $15.00 per hour with some states, municipalities, and locales implementing  ?or talking about implementing  ?this wage hike.   You may also be interested in? ?overtime pay | independent contractor | How to Schedule and Pay Seasonal and Temporary Employees | The Impact of the Minimum Wage Increase More Minimum Wage Resources Department of Labor Minimum Wage Website

If you Want to Succeed in this Job Market, Youve got to Sell Yourself

If you Want to Succeed in this Job Market, You’ve got to Sell Yourself If you Want to Succeed in this Job Market, You’ve got to Sell Yourself Personal Branding Who are you? What do you stand for? Many people who are actively seeking jobs do not know the answers to these questions. In order to make sure you stand out, put in the time and effort that it takes to figure out these things about yourself. Dont just come up with a vague idea; create a specific image for yourself and be prepared to articulate it when its time for those big interviews. Your goal should be to make your potential employer see you the way that you want to be seen. Developing this image, also known as your personal brand, is not the same thing as being a unique individual. After all, employers know that each applicant they look at will have something that makes him or her different. If you can market yourself through the personal brand that you have created, you will stand out because employers will recognize your ability to know yourself. In order for your personal brand to be truly successful, it must be recognizable, consistent and meaningful. In other words, by the end of the interview your potential employer should know not only what it is that you stand for but also why you stand for it. Co-Branding Like it or not, social media is a big part of our world today. And contrary to what many people think, the personal, public identity you create through social media is not entirely disconnected from the working world. It is becoming more and more common for employers to look at somebodys social media profiles to help them make their decision when hiring. As a job seeker, you can use popular websites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to your advantage. Use your public identity to reinforce and expand your personal brand. The public identity and your personal brand should overlap to some degree, but they should not be entirely identical. Think of social media as a tool for showing how aspects of your personal brand spill over into all aspects of your life. For example, if you brand yourself as someone who can persevere even when everyone else gives up, post social media updates about pursuing your fitness goals. While this may seem completely unrelated to your professional life, it shows employers who see the post that your personal brand is not just a facade that you put up on interview day. Let your personal, public identity highlight real-life examples that you are striving to live out your brand every day. In addition to social media, blogging is another way to create your personal identity in cyberspace. Blogging is an excellent way of showcasing your communication skills. This is especially true if the job you are applying for requires top-notch writing abilities. Even if the job youre pursuing has nothing to do with writing, the ability to draw people in and get them talking- through comments on a blog, for example- is a skill that many employers value. Blogging is also a good way to network with others. The larger your list of people that follow your blog and vice/versa, the more marketable you are to employers. For example, imagine that youve just applied for a job at an advertising agency. Employers who look at your blog will see that you’re capable of creating a constructive narrative with a captive audience- something extremely valuable to them. Networking with others through a blog can also lead to contacts with people who are successful in the industry that you are interested in. Know Your Gifts and Strengths In order to be successful in todays job market you have to know what your strengths are and be able to sell these strengths to potential employers. One of the most frequently asked interview questions is: Why are you the best person for this job? If you know your gifts and strengths and can articulate them well, then you will be able to answer this question easily. Every job posting lists certain characteristics that applicants are expected to have. Nevertheless, dont take it for granted that all the people applying for the job have all of those characteristics. During your interview, give examples from your personal and/or professional life to show why you have all the characteristics listed. But dont stop with the content listed in the job posting; instead, use the list of desired qualifications to talk about related abilities that you have, which can complement those desired by the employer. Conclusion Overall, the best advice to succeed in todays job market is to sell yourself. Find out what makes you different and articulate this point in your interviews and throughout your career. Dont delude yourself into thinking your value is self evident.   Unfortunately, to many employers you are just another face in a long line of applicants. Make yourself memorable, marketable and multi-faceted so you can land the job and build the career youve always wanted.

Questions You Should Ask In A Job Interview

Questions You Should Ask In A Job Interview Questions You Should Ask In A Job Interview You’ve come to the last few minutes of the interview, and your interviewer finally asks, “Do you have any questions from me?” Everyone knows it’s the ultimate blunder if you don’t ask questions at the end of an interview. While often overlooked when preparing for an interview, the right end-of-interview questions can make you stand out as a candidate. They’re also a chance for you to find out if the role is right for you and what you want. I’ve uncovered the best questions that will increase your chances of getting the job, and a list of questions to ask your hiring manager that will impress them but also give you more insight as to whether the role and culture are right for you. The best question to ask that will increase your chances of getting the job is: Are there any requirements for the position that I have not adequately demonstrated for you today? This question works in your favor because once the interviewer answers it lets you state your case, if the interviewer thinks you’re lacking any skills for the position. Your answer should demonstrate that you’re aware of the experience you’re lacking and how you make up for it in other areas. Also, you’ll get a sense of where you stand in the interviewer’s mind. Another way to ask this question is: What would the perfect candidate look like? How do you assess my experience in comparison? What gaps do you see? Here is a list of other questions to ask your hiring manager: What are the key accomplishments you would like to see in this role over the next year? How can I help you get a “gold star” during your next review? Describe your leadership style in three words. Why did you join this company? Why do you stay? Why is this position open? Whats the biggest challenge your team has faced this year? How did you handle it? What is your team’s proudest accomplishment this year? What project are you most excited about this year? Whats one thing thats key to this companys success that somebody from outside the company wouldnt know about? What are your groups best and worst working relationships with other groups in the company? Employers like to see critical and thoughtful candidates, so asking insightful questions is just as valuable as considerate answers. The best questions to ask are the ones that you can’t find with a simple Google search. Are there any other questions that you like to ask at the end of interviews?

It helps both in making your current receptionist resume as well as when you need to update your receptionist resume in future in case of a career change or job change. In master receptionist resume you have to write all and everything that you think that should go into your receptionist resume. Every little detail. The basic ideology behind making a master receptionist resume is to collect all the relevant information related to your receptionist resume at one place so that further in the receptionist resume making process you don't have to look here and there for the information related to your receptionist resume. This process of making a receptionist resume also ensures that you don't forget to write even the minute of the details related to your receptionist resume later in the process. The master receptionist resume basically serves at the outline of your final receptionist resume. Later in the process, this master receptionist resume will be used as the base of the final receptionist resume. At this stage, once you're done with compiling all the information, you'll start off with making the professional experience and internship section.

Final Receptionist Resume: At this third stage of receptionist resume writing, the first thing that you need to do is to make your key receptionist resume skills section. The second thing to do is to make the summary/objective section. Third thing is to bold and highlight all the important words, phrases and numbers throughout the receptionist resume. Receptionist Resume Professional Experience Section Step 1 As mentioned above, you've to first make the professional experience section in the master receptionist resume stage. The professional experience section includes all the information related to the jobs that you have done so far. Use the format given below to rite this section of your receptionist resume: {Designation} | {Organization} | {Location (city, country pin)} | {Dates} (month year) Framing Points In Your Receptionist Resume Professional Experience Section When writing the points pertaining to your professional experience section, you need to write them in a certain way. You cannot just go and scribble down your duties and responsibilities in your receptionist resume. To best demonstrate the impact of your work on the business, use the cause-effect method to write your receptionist resume points. Let's see with the help of receptionist resume examples how to write points using the cause-effect methodology. Receptionist Resume Example 1: Addressing ~10 queries on a daily basis Appointing new cleaning staff and peon Attending ~30 calls from client's office Managing house cleaning staff Addressing ~20 walk-in clients In receptionist resume example 1 the points written are without using the cause-effect method. That's why they don't provide much information about the impact that the person's duties had on the business. Receptionist Resume Example 2: Addressing ~10 queries on a daily basis while escalating the crucial ones Appointing new cleaning staff and peon in the instances of short staffing Attending ~30 calls from client's office and transferring the same to the relevant department Managing house cleaning staff by allocating tasks and monitoring day-to-day activities Addressing ~20 walk-in clients on a day-to-day basis The points in receptionist resume example 2 are written using the cause-effect methodology and you can see clearly how they are providing complete information on the impact that the person's duties had on the business. Bucketing And Highlighting Points In Your Receptionist Professional Experience Section Bucketing and highlighting points in the professional experience section increase the readability of the receptionist resume. Let's see how with the help of receptionist resume examples. Receptionist Resume Example 1: Addressing ~10 queries on a daily basis while escalating the crucial ones Appointing new cleaning staff and peon in the instances of short staffing Attending ~30 calls from client's office and transferring the same to the relevant department Managing house cleaning staff by allocating tasks and monitoring day-to-day activities Addressing ~20 walk-in clients on a day-to-day basis The points in receptionist resume example 1 are written without using the methods of bucketing and highlighting.

Take a glance at the professional experience section sample receptionist resume provided below to get a better understanding of how to make this section. Receptionist Resume Internship Section Step 2 Next in line at the master receptionist resume stage comes the internship section. In the internship section, you will write all the information related to your internships that you did during your graduation. There is a major difference between internships and professional experience. Internships are mostly unpaid whereas you get a salary while working professionally for a company. Internships are at max for 6 months, whereas, a job can last till years. So, that's why we make separate sections for professional experience and internships. Use the format given below to write your internship section. {Designation} | {Organization} | {Location (city, country pin)} | {Dates} (month year) The points of the internship section will also be written the same way that we have explained above to write the points of the professional experience section. Which is using the cause-effect, bucketing and highlighting methods. Look at the receptionist resume sample given below to get more clarity on how to write the internship section of your receptionist resume. Writing Receptionist Resume Header Step 3 From here starts your first draft stage and the first thing to do in this stage is to make the receptionist resume header. The header comes at the very starting of your receptionist resume, at the top. Only your name is written in the header. So, now the question is: Why make a header? The answer is to differentiate your receptionist resume from other receptionist resumes. Make sure that the header is the largest text in the whole of your receptionist resume. It should be written between the font size of 14-16 points. Also, ensure that you don't have any spacing errors in your name. If you have a middle name, then you should write it in the manner given below: 'Laura J. Witherspoon' Write only the first initial of your middle name and after that put a full stop after it. To get a better idea of how to make the header of your receptionist resume, look at the receptionist resume example given below. Personal Information Section In Your Receptionist Resume Step 4 Next in line comes the personal information section. In this section, you have to provide information pertaining to personal phone number, personal e-mail address and your current location of residence. Personal Phone Number If you have more than one personal phone number, then do not write all of them in the personal information section. Only write one phone number which you use the most. If you write more than one phone number, then the recruiter might get confused on which one to call you and can then drop the idea of calling you at all. The place where the personal phone number will be written is just below the header on the left-hand side of the receptionist resume. Before writing the number put a plus sign (+) and then write the International Subscriber Dialing (ISD) code of your country and after this give a single space and then write your personal phone number. After writing your personal phone number, give a single space after the first five digits of the phone number. Personal E-mail ID The next thing to be written in the personal information section is the personal e-mail ID. Write it right next to the personal phone number, in the center. Do not write e-mail ID names like 'sexysophia@xyz.com' as they look very unprofessional. So, it is very important to use an e-mail ID name that looks professional. For example, 'laura.witherspoon@xyz.com' is an ideal e-mail ID name to be used for the receptionist resume. At this point, you can also add hyperlinks to other social media sites like that of LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc. as well as links to any personal sites if they are relevant to your profile and support your work in any way. Also, the content on these social media accounts need to be up-to-date and should coincide with each other. Current Location Of Residence Your current location of residence is the last thing to be added in the personal information section. Write it on the right-hand side, right next to where you wrote your personal e-mail ID. If you are someone whose living outside their home town, then you've to mention the city in which you are living currently and not the city which is your hometown. Along with this, do not write the complete address of where you are living as it will occupy unnecessary space in the receptionist resume and the space in the personal information section is very limited. Only write the name of the city in which you are living along with the country pin. This much information about your current location of residence is enough for the recruiter to know if you'll be relocating in case you join that company. You can also opt for Hiration's Online Resume Builder to make your receptionist resume as in it you'll get the options to personalize your personal information section with various social media icons and other icons as well in order to make your receptionist resume look more attractive and unique.

How to Get a Big Law Job Callback Interview

How to Get a Big Law Job Callback Interview How to Get a Big Law Job Callback Interview If all goes well at your initial OCI summer associate interviews, you’ll receive “call back” offers. A call back is an invitation to go to the firm’s office for a day, or half a day, and meet with a series of attorneys (associates and partners). Typically at least one meal is included in the schedule of events. If the office is in a different city from your law school, the firm will customarily pay for you to fly out and stay in a hotel (although it’s polite to try to schedule all of your callback interviews in a particular city for one time period, so the firms can share travel expenses). What Happens at a Call Back Callbacks are fairly straightforward. When you arrive at the firm, you’ll typically meet with the recruiting coordinator, who will give you water, answer any pressing logistical questions, and perhaps tell you a bit about who you’ll be interviewing with. (Ideally, you asked for the interview schedule in advance, so you had time to do recon on your interviewers. If not, listen carefully to the list now.) Your job when you meet the recruiting coordinator is basically to nod and smile. “School is going well, thanks for asking,” and so on. Do not ask any controversial questions at that point (or at any point during the day). If there are things that potentially concern you, you can always schedule a follow-up interview after you have the offer. After you meet with the recruiting coordinator, you’ll go to your first lawyer interview. Do not expect that this person knows anything about you or has read your application materials. Attorneys are busy and may be filling in for someone who dropped out at the last minute. Be prepared to talk about yourself and answer very basic questions (which are clearly covered on your resume). Ideally, you’ve practiced a few mildly amusing anecdotes about your time in law school (or any other safe topic) which you can use to fill time when your interviewer isn’t particularly chatty or well prepared. Be sure you can talk about anything on your resume, and be sure you’ve reviewed your writing sample and can discuss it knowledgeably. (And bring extra copies of all of your materials, in case you arrive for an interview and find the attorney has no idea who you are.) After 20-30 minutes, either the recruiting coordinator will come back to escort you to your next appointment, or the lawyer you’re talking with will take you there. (Watching attorneys try to find the next office can be a highly amusing diversion in large offices, where most people don’t really know each other.) If you need a bathroom break, water, coffee, etc. feel free to ask. The Next Interview The next interview will be largely like the first, giving you the chance to further hone “your storyline.” By the end of the day, you’ll have told the same story to between 5 and 10 people, which is surprisingly exhausting! Just be prepared to be tired, and keep going. It’s fine to ask the same basic questions of each person you talk to, so you don’t have to drive yourself nuts trying to think up exciting new questions all day long. “What type of projects are you working on? Why did you choose to work at this firm? How do you like it?” are all fine. Keep it simple! At some point, you’ll break for a meal, typically lunch. Often, you’ll be sent to eat with two or three associates (and no partners). But don’t kid yourself - this is still part of the interview and you should act accordingly. Be careful what you order (something easy to eat that isn’t the most expensive item on the menu), don’t drink, and don’t get too friendly. These people will be reporting back on your behavior, so be professional. After lunch, you might have more interviews (a post-lunch coffee might not be the worst idea), or you might just circle back with the recruiting coordinator. In all cases, be on your best behavior! You must be polite to everyone you encounter, from the receptionist to the managing partner. Being rude to anyone can doom your offer. Following Up After the Interview Once you depart, consider following up with an email or hand-written note, thanking everyone you met for their time. Lawyers live by the billable hour, so every half hour interview cost the firm between $200 and $500 dollars, roughly. At a minimum, send a note to the recruiting coordinator, thanking him for a great day and reiterating your interest in the position. Then, it’s time to sit back and hope for the best! Firms hire on different schedules, so it might be a while before you hear (or you might have a voicemail before you get home). If you haven’t heard from a firm for a few weeks, feel free to (politely) follow up. But, hopefully, you won’t have to wait too long!
