Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some steps you can take:
Follow Up: Politely follow up with the associates and VP you networked with. A brief, professional email reminding them of your previous interactions and expressing your continued interest in the position can be effective.
Leverage Your Network: If you have other contacts within the firm or industry, now is the time to reach out. Sometimes a nudge from another connection can make a difference.
Apply Regardless: Ensure you submit your application before the deadline, even if you haven't heard back. Your networking efforts might still pay off during the review process.
Prepare for Alternatives: While waiting, continue to explore other opportunities and keep your options open. The job market can be unpredictable, and it's always good to have a backup plan.
Stay Positive and Persistent: The application process can be lengthy and sometimes unresponsive. Stay positive and persistent, and keep pushing forward with your career goals.
Good luck!
