October Series - Reaching your Network (Session 5)

Are you missing out on opportunities? Most job seekers don’t follow up after applications or interviews. Even fewer take the time to learn from rejection. The cost of not following up or seeking feedback is that you miss out on valuable information and opportunities to improve. Staying stuck in the same patterns leads to frustration and wasted effort. Building a follow-up system and actively seeking feedback helps you identify trends, such as why you were declined or rejected, and allows you to iterate and get better with each attempt. Getting feedback from your "job search system" is crucial for finding patterns and making meaningful change in your career.
