How can you stay positive while waiting for interview feedback?

Remind yourself that the process takes time, and it's normal to wait. Keep busy with other activities to distract yourself, and focus on the fact that you did your best in the interview. Trust the process, stay optimistic, and remember that good things take time. Keep a positive mindset, and the feedback will come when it's ready.

Waiting to hear back from an interview can be stressful, but it's cool to keep things chill. Do stuff you enjoy to keep your mind off it, and try not to stress too much about how long it's taking. Focus on what you can control, like sending a thank-you email or prepping for other gigs. Take breaks to chill out with meditation or deep breaths. Picture yourself acing the interview and getting that job. Talk to friends or fam for some good vibes, and be ready for whatever comes next – whether it's a job offer or not. Use the time to think about how you can improve for next time. Remember, the interview is just a step in your journey, and staying positive can make the wait a bit easier.

To stay positive while waiting for interview feedback, it is important to stay proactive and continue to apply for other opportunities. Additionally this period should be used to improve the skills and expand the field knowledge. The waiting period can be challenging but having a growth mindset, focusing on things that are under our control, seeking support will be beneficial for staying positive.

First off all, sadly but true, there is no such thing as "Interview Feedback" with 90% of the companies operating in the Middle East. There is a Silent treatment, one just assumes that since no one has reached out, it means I am not selected. Having said that, keeping faith in yourself, belief that you have the knowledge & education in your field of business and that the rejections are just a diversion towards an Organization that will appreciate you, your experience, expertise & professional knowledge keeps me motivated in these tough times. Besides one can't control either fate or destiny so might aswell enjoy the ride & be positive. Lastly, I always Thank GOD that I am a day closer to a new beginning.

During the wait for interview feedback, concentrate on things within your control. Engage in other job opportunities, self-development or activities you enjoy. Remind yourself that your value isn't defined by one interview.

A thank-you email post-interview shows your eagerness and manners. It's a chance to reiterate your fit for the role. However, respect the process; avoid over-following up, and allow them a reasonable response time.

I have had days where i have rigorously followed up and that led to me being the guy who mails a lot. I stopped spamming, started dropping a simple reminder, if its supposed to work , it will. If not, you have a lot to achieve

A good thank-you email can repair damage done in a less than stellar interview. Make certain each interviewer receives a unique thank-you. Ask each interviewer, "If I get the job, how will I be able to make your life easier?" That should be the focus of the thank-you. That way, the interviewers know you were listening, remember their concerns, and that you have a response.

After an appropriate interval, send a concise and polite follow-up email expressing your continued interest in the position and asking for any updates on the interview process.

Um erro comum dos candidatos é forçarem a barra com os recrutadores responsáveis pela vaga. Uma dica: na entrevista, pergunte até quando você terá um retorno desse prazo e respeite o tempo estipulado para conversar novamente com o recrutador.

One of the most important things to do is to keep your work going - keep connecting and reaching out to people/companies. It can seem tough to do because you may really want the job you interviewed for to be the one. However, keeping conversations and connects alive is a good way to not sit and stare at your mailbox. Keep moving - if the interview works out that's great - if in case not- then nothing is lost- because you have other wheels in motion.

Stay engaged in your job search while you are waiting, and avoid putting all your eggs in one basket. Which means - keep networking, keep applying, keep active on LinkedIn, and keep looking - all while you are waiting to hear back from other interviews. This way, if you are not selected as the successful candidate, you will be keeping things moving forward and will have other leads to draw on.

Enquanto aguarda o feedback da entrevista, continue ativo na sua busca pelo sim. Se mantenha em movimento praticando networking, ativo no LinkedIn, continue buscando conhecimento, e importante continuar se cadastrando em outras vagas do seu interesse. É a sua constância e atitude que vão contribuir passar e vencer por esse momento.

Outro erro comum dos candidatos é para de se candidatar após ter encontrado a "vaga dos sonhos" e esperar o retorno. A busca deve se manter, independentemente da vaga, pois caso você não seja selecionado, terá outras alternativas para a sua carreira.

N.S.L. Never Stop Looking!!! Even after you have been offered the job. Even after you have reported for work. I personally don't stop looking and networking until after my probationary period, since they can get rid of me for any reason until the probation is over.

Reflect on things you're grateful for, like your current job, supportive friends, or hobbies you enjoy. Focusing on the positive can boost your mood and resilience.

I ask my clients, " what can you do at the point in time?" (most don't have an answer, as honestly we cannot do anything but wait) So then I ask "what else can you do?" Again most don't have the answer, and hence I suggest the following; 1. Set a fixed time to focus on 'career' related activities 2. Find 5 things you can do daily to support your career and do it 3. Find at least 30 minutes to go outside, even if its just a stroll in your building or neighbourhood 4. Reflect on your day and seek what all good it had 5. Ask yourself, what more can I do? and if the answer is 'your are doing it all' then accept and be grateful.

✍️”You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there will always be someone who hates peaches" – Dita Von Teese 🫂Have grace on yourself knowing that you've remained consistent with your values, morals, and beliefs. Whether or not a company decides to select you, is out of your control.

Take advantage of online courses, webinars, or workshops to enhance your skills. Continuous learning not only adds value to your resume but also keeps you engaged and motivated during the waiting period.

When we take care of ourselves, we are able to feel more positive and optimistic. As a result, self-care acts as a shield, making the process of repositioning more bearable.

Waiting for interview feedback can be really stressful, but there are some things you can do in order to keep calm and stay positive. Firstly, you need to understand that your part is completed, you did your best and now the rest is up to someone else. You can also follow up with a polite email expressing your eagerness to become part of the team. Other than that, keep applying for new roles and prepare for future opportunities!

I encourage candidates to seek support and feedback from friends and peers, not recruiters. Most recruiters simply don't have the time to do it. As a recruiter, I can say wholeheartedly that most candidates don't have strong resumes and profiles, even though they have adequate experience. The most qualified candidates don't get the job, the ones that market themselves the best do.

While awaiting feedback, make productive use of your time by enhancing your skills. Engage in formal education or explore online learning platforms like LinkedIn Learning or other self-paced programs. This proactive approach not only improves your skill set, making you a more attractive candidate for future opportunities, but also keeps you actively engaged and mentally focused.

Don't do this alone. Identify your "board" or join a group of job seekers through Never Search Alone. You need to regularly see and talk to people -- especially people who understand what you're going through and/or can offer you trusted advice.

Family and friends can provide you support and positive moments to recover and relax. Mentor is there for you to encourage you to reconstruct strategies and continue the journey. Feedback is crucial for and from everyone. Some people know you as a person and other as a professional. They know your buttons, in order to press them or not. You can reach them out and receive further data or prepare you for the next challenge.

After you have reviewed your interview and done what we call in the military an "after action report", essentially a review of your performance. If you are satisfied with it, then settle down and put your faith in it. If I feel good about my interview, I resign myself to the fact that whoever beat me out was actually better than me. Honestly, I can live with that.

My personal opinion is that candidates need to move on if they didn't get the job and forget about feedback. The reason is simple: Most of the time you are not going to get the truth. The employer isn't going to tell you the real reason they didn't hire you. They will make something up, then candidates beat themselves up about something that isn't even true.

Tenha o autocontrole, por mais que seja difícil esperar para quem já busca há muito tempo. A oportunidade certa aparecerá a você, basta seguir com estratégia e manter a constância! Boa sorte!

Waiting to hear back from a role you really like can be tough - particularly if the company doesn't stick to their own time frames. So think about the things you can control, consider networking around the company (if suitable) - if it was a role you really liked, then look at the companies competitors to see if they would have a similar role you could do. It's important to remember that even if the role is offered to you, until you sign a contract nothing is guaranteed. So make sure you keep creating opportunities.

From a recruiter’s perspective, know that there are a myriad reasons as to why someone is selected and it might have nothing to do with you. Accept and embrace it. If you gave your best effort, then you have done all you can. It is so easy to get discouraged and question yourself but that will only shift your mindset and affect how you show up for future opportunities. You know what you can offer. If it’s not what an organization decides they need, then that is not the place for you. Job searching is similar to trying on jeans - there are many that fit, but you want that perfect pair. Don’t waste time and energy in self-doubt. Use each experience as a way to improve your interviewing skills and keep looking for the right opportunity.
