Job Application Steps (text)

• First Impressions

  • A new job is posted online, and you doll up your resume to make a good first impression on the hiring manager. Here’s a link to have your resume reviewed for free

• First Cut

  • After a look at all of the potentially qualified resumes, the hiring manager narrows it down to a list of the best-qualified candidates (for their particular needs)

• Group and One on One Dates

  • First-round interviews could be in a group setting or individually. The hiring manager talks about the company and asks you various questions to get to know you better - the large list of candidates I dwindled down

• Hometown Dates

  • Only a handful of candidates remain. During the second interview, you meet the rest of the team and might be interviewed by others to see if you are fit for the role and company

• Fantasy Suites

  • Both you and the employer have gotten a good feel for each other by now. The final interviews take place, and any potential offer is discussed 

• Proposal 

  • The job offer is made, and you happily accept. Hoping this initial burst of excitement for the role lasts for years to come
