Ive done all that I can. Perhaps budgets are being juggled because of an unexpected drop in business and/or profits, and they wont contact anyone until they know they can afford to fill the job.

How long does it take to hear back from Google interview? However, sending too many follow-up messages immediately after the interview may make you appear needy and unattractive. Someone necessary to the process is missing. I want to be involved and associate with the types of people who treat people the way I do. When I was 12 years old, when I actually like started making earrings for the first time and selling them to friends, I would make like friendship bracelets so that my little 10, 12, 13-year-old friends could like match each other and the bug bit me then, andthen I thought that it was more important to like to make money and not worry about being creative and like being bright and showing yourself off, andI thought I needed to blend in to be successful. Elizabeth: Yup. Its called an intake meeting where the hiring manager will just be like, Yeah.

Elizabeth: I think what has really helped me is paying attention to when I feel like I havent done enough and thats just something I recommend. So,I tell you this story because I had test anxiety. Shes so energetic, so nice, so passionate. I know its aside from professional experience, butI think this is such a big part of your brand and I think that bringing this to an interview actually shows that you have entrepreneurial skills, you can put your head down and focus on things that you can take on a marketing role, a sales role, a founder role. You had job interviews at a place youd like to work. We dont want to review any more resumes. So, we got a process in place where I had a team of a few people within a few different key areas of Google who designed resources that were more tech specific, more finance, accounting like operation specific and more kind of project manager specific, and we worked with hiring managers and team members who were in those positions to put together kind of like a cheat sheet of tips and tricks for landing in this type of role. Every year, major corporations such as Google get over two million job applications - imagine that! Until the next episode of the Final Round Podcast, keep fighting and I will see you in the ring. Its your job to push people forward. AndI was just like going through my clothes and just like, ew. So, Lively Liz Creation started when I entered Corporate America, andI was like holy guacamole this is not what I thought it would be.

So, like I wasnt just like, No, no, no. Its learning about an industry. Do not call the front desk of human resources and ask the administrative assistant about the status of your application. But when I finally landed at Google, I just kept remembering how I was never informed. Try not to assume the worst or the best until you know for sure, or until several months have passed with no word and no responses to your efforts to get an answer from them. You'll be able to plan ahead of time and avoid worry while waiting for a response following the interview. How long after an interview should I hear back? The right people need to approve new hires, often in very specific order up the organizations management chain, and decisions wait until the appropriate approval is received so the paperwork can passed on up to the next level. This kind of touches back on the last question as well, and Im actually going to write a LinkedIn post about it soon, so you all are getting exclusive content. Elizabeth: Yeah. The interviewer is visibly excited/positive toward you in the interview. Im very excited about it and heres why I want to stay with you long term. Etc. Hiring someone usually involves more than one person, and someone necessary to the process might be missing out of the office (vacation, illness, death in the family, business travel, fired or quit, etc.) A certain amount of rejections unfortunately were a bad internal review like maybe they applied to us another time, and we asked the Googlers who knew them like, Hey, tell us about Fred, and theyre like, Urgh, I worked with Fred, like dont say yes to Fred. So, we have some of those people that come through. So, its definitely important to apply for positions out of your comfort zone. Its because I put all this effort in, I have met incredible recruiters who Im friends with today. Google looks for Googliness how do you answer the Googliness question? A certain amount of rejections unfortunately were a bad internal review like maybe they applied to us another time, and we asked the Googlers who knew them like, Hey, tell us about Fred, and theyre like, Urgh, I worked with Fred, like dont say yes to Fred. So, we have some of those people that come through. Heck, like I have interviewed at companies where it ultimately hasnt worked out, and we have become friends, and they have written me LinkedIn recommendations like, Liz is going to be great at somewhere someday.

Its very important that I find the right fit. I encourage you to walk away from this episode thinking about your own Googliness and how you can start crafting your unique story to blow interviewers away. Heres when Im available, like having great communication skills like not skipping a beat when things kind of get a little off-kilter from the process. When Is Too Early to Call Someone for an Interview? I can stop and do my own thing now. And from the thing that I make, to the packaging, to how I treat the customers, its like this is me and I dont have to ask permission. So, overall, I totally understand what youre talking about that you want to pursue a company that also aligns with what youre passionate about and what youre trying to pursue. If youre not willing to put effort into the interview process, oftentimes, recruiters see it as a red flag that youre not willing to put effort into your job. Ive done all that I can. You can capitalize on the delay by emailing the hiring manager and offering additional information that may tip the scale in your favor. No more painful emails or flat out getting ghosted.

The hiring manager may need to meet with various team members after your in-person job interview to discuss your application. Yeah, great question. Yes, there are negative aspects of showing up and bringing yourself online. No. And the nos were usually like unfortunately just graduated and experience is interning at a company, but theres no metrics tied to it. I think it takes getting out of your comfort zone and being willing to accept the fact that like I said earlier, not everyone aligns with your message and what youre talking about. You can anticipate most of the questions you will be asked. Can you tell me where you are in the hiring process? The reason you havent heard from them probably has little to do with you. Yeah, I think it really depends on what youre going for. So, for Google and your just your experience overall, how much of a factor does GPA play into it versus just you know concrete experience? Would you be able to give me an idea of where you are in the hiring process? Elizabeth: So, I will share that Ive actually applied to many companies over the years. Like if someone didnt have that cookie cutter resume that perfectly matched the job description, it was also my job to advocate. And were going to cover how to master that art form in this full guide.. Knowing how to end a business note or email is an important skill to develop. I had six people review it, I proved why I was Googly, andthen I never heard back, andI cried, andI ate gluten-free cake, andI was really sad. So, thank you so much again on behalf of our audience, our team, myself. If you've followed up and haven't heard anything in weeks, it's time to gracefully move on and pursue other options. Welcome back, everybody. Its to the point, youre either rejected or you get taken on to an interview, and theyre very to the point. You can share your story, but if youre not comfortable with it or maybe your position its kind of hard to find on social, I think its okay to not show yourself off on social. That was about the time that Google reached out to me and said, Hey, we see you on LinkedIn. But actually, the cool thing that happened is I havent applied to any of the companies that Ive worked at. Like have a background in this industry, have this type of experience. It isnt over until the person starts the job (sometimes not then, either). I was working twojobs. I also want to share the good news that I just finished my training on Intuit QuickBooks and feel very comfortable using it. If youre not willing to put effort into the interview process, oftentimes, recruiters see it as a red flag that youre not willing to put effort into your job. Shes creative and unique and interesting, and she is defined by more than a number and thats what we want here at Google. As a result, it takes time to accomplish it as well. I found the perfect entry level role, I applied, I have my cover letter. And their bullet points, youre going to see like five tops and those are all the minimum qualifications, and you just have to have them. Its called an intake meeting where the hiring manager will just be like, Yeah. I know theres always this constant debate between being too professional versus being too personable being yourself online. Its like thats kind of my thing. I know you said that you worked with hiring managers over the years from different recruiting positions, so I guess the first question is how do job descriptions even get made.

May I call for an update if I don't hear soon? On the topic of side jobs, Liz this is probably one of our last topics before well end today. I found a way to combat it. A few weeks may pass without an answer, while well-intentioned friends offer job advice on how long to wait after an interview before moving on. Anxiously wondering if you got the job is like waiting for your grade in algebra. So, I will share that Ive actually applied to many companies over the years. And how well was it done? So, like peoples inability to like advocate for themselves. This is my full founder Lively Liz from start to finish. So, thats something to keep in mind just like how you respond to emails, how polite you are. Actually, one of the most common reasons we would reject someone, which I really hope these changes, is someone who made a lot of job career pivots. I had six people review it, I proved why I was Googly, andthen I never heard back, andI cried, andI ate gluten-free cake, andI was really sad.

Im passionate about what youre doing, and Im passionate about the work Id be doing, and then move through that during the interview process and sort of cater it to each type of person youre talking to whether its your boss showing that youre a great team player and you get things done and you dont need to be hounded to do your work or someone that you partner with and asking them sort of: what are some pain points that theyve experienced? So don't get too worked up if you haven't heard from your employer in a few days. I interviewed for the accounting clerk position ten days ago and havent heard anything. What are the recent acquisitions? This question can help to determine the appropriate next steps and assist in managing your expectations of how long it could take to go from initial interview to job offer. I had these posts that I would write of like, Hey, comment below with the link to your LinkedIn profile and I will give a feedback tip to the first hundred people, and that actually kind of helped me sort of ramp up my following. You mentioned that like not tailoring your resume, was that one of the top ones? Regardless of where you are in the employment process, you should end each interview by asking when you can expect to hear back. They must also evaluate you in comparison to the other prospects they are examining. Not every position can really be highlighted on social media. And their bullet points, youre going to see like five tops and those are all the minimum qualifications, and you just have to have them. And then second of all, tailor your resume because that is so crucial. It could take a phone interview, second or third interview, then a final interview before a job offer is made with a potential employer. Thank you so much for having me on the show. I really make sure that for each bullet point even if its 20, I know it takes a lot of work, trust me. I just felt so like I just hated how my closet looked. I cant, but its totally fine.

I literally know how to create viral posts like let me bring it to the company, teach other people how to do it the same way so that we can like enhance employment branding. So, all of that goes back to saying, I know what Im known for, and I throw it out there, and its helped me to not just get job opportunities but paid company sponsorship stuff, meeting incredible people, amazing podcast and that has helped me in interviews too. So, something that I did in my Google interview that I did for my iCIMS interview as well, the very first thing I did when I knew I was interested in a job is I copy and pasted the job description somewhere because when someone amazing starts in the interview process, oftentimes, the recruiting team will unpublish the role. I remain very interested in the job and hope my application is still under consideration. I just kind of started making these for fun on the side and I started trying to match them to my outfits and people started saying, Oh, can I buy a pair? Part of why I would make them was because I couldnt wear a lot of earrings from the store because it would make my ears bleed. Actually, one of the most common reasons we would reject someone, which I really hope these changes, is someone who made a lot of job career pivots. Elizabeth: Yeah, great question. They wont know until theyre done making the changes, and, of course, you wont know until after they do. For instance, after your Google on-site interview. So, Id love to hear from you how would you advise candidates who are going to be interviewing for Google roles, how do you answer the talk about your Googliness question or how do you even have this like what even is Googliness? On the topic of receiving feedback, I know it can be super frustrating for candidates to often not receive feedback since recruiters do not have a good way to share it. At the top right, tap your profile image. As a general guideline, you should wait 10 to 14 days before contacting them again. There are many reasons why employers dont follow up right away. But I think theres a way that you can show yourself off as not a great fit, not a great fit, but I did this, and I did that, and I made sure I had a great transition process off-boarding process. Sometimes the hiring manager will just kind of blurb things. Now, back to the show. I like to look at it in terms of: one, Im interviewing them as much as theyre interviewing me. ButI think ultimately, it comes down to the audience that you want to spend time with and strategizing a way to spend time with them. Again, someone critical to the process may be unavailable, and nothing goes forward until they rejoin the process. Whether or not you were the first candidate interviewed, it may be a long wait. Selected candidates will be contacted for an in-person or phone interview when a recruiting manager or applicant tracking system (ATS) has completed filing through the applications. And the definition that they have of Googliness on their website is a mashup of passion and drive thats hard to define but easy to spot. It is frustrating especially when youve got five different companies. Im struggling with a lot of things now. And so, Ive really tried to sort of push through that and put myself in a situation where I am myself online very authentically because I want to attract the companies that gravitate towards me. *Download Hirect App for Free: https://bit.ly/HirectApp, Connect with Elizabeth: www.linkedin.com/in/livelyliz/, Follow our Host on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-aj-eckstein/.

All Rights Reserved. How do you find the right balance between being too personal vs. too professional online? So, lets move forward to a phone interview.. Recruiting supervisors go on vacation, team members who are involved in the hiring decision go on vacation or become preoccupied with other commitments, and the entire team, department, or organization may be forced to shift their focus to other priorities or even crises (like losing their biggest client, moving offices, etc.). I was at the final stages of the interview process and my recruiter was amazing, loved working with her. So, if you can share things like that, GPA is not important as long as youve got all of these great wonderful things on the side that you can reference. I think what has really helped me is paying attention to when I feel like I havent done enough and thats just something I recommend. Its no secret that you are a very busy person. This is pretend Liz, not what I want to do. I just hated how like for all the folks watching who really like to dress colorfully, you know how freaking hard it is to find cute business-like nice business professional clothes that dont make you want to fall asleep. I dont really remember the role I applied to. Im Liz. So, my junior year, when I had I think a 2.3, I started going into my classes and saying, Hey, professor, can we talk about my test during your office hours? And I would bring my test and say, I put A because of this reason. And oftentimes, my test grades would go up afterwards because they said, Wow, I never thought that someone would have thought of how it could have been answer B even though its answer A. Or by the middle of last week. Again, they havent found the perfect candidate or theres been a change in profits, so they are reconsidering the structure of the job. Because if not like hiring teams really vet people who are at Google now, and they really trust their opinions and their feedback and their background. I actually think that being your full self is going to help you land at the companies that have the same values as you. Sometimes the hiring manager will just kind of blurb things. And guess what? And when I talked to them about that, they said, Oh, wow. Mary Dowd holds a doctorate in educational leadership and a masters in counseling and student affairs from Minnesota State Mankato. So, I think weve been speaking a lot about the competence to get past an interview, but I love to shift gears and talk about being a culture fit because companies dont just hire for competence, but they also want to hire for someone whos going to add culture to what theyre currently doing. Kind of what I said earlier, you are dating this company. Maybe, the job will be changed to something that will be cheaper to fill. Elizabeth: Yeah, absolutely! Thats why I highly recommend a side hobby and something youre passionate about because for me when work has been boring, when there have been no chances of promotion, when Ive done a full day and I just feel so like not in control. So, I got my recruiting experience there. Waiting for a decision from candidate #1.

I was mostly just connected with professors and fellow students, but it was when I got my first professional opportunity and I started trying to offer value to people, trying to help people get jobs because like I was sending rejections to 95% of the people that I was working with, and it was just like killing me inside, and I was like, I have to do something. So, I started these posts and I started helping people and many of them are still with me today. I get it. And I think youll be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

Its like its someone elses thing. How often to post? Again, its a holistic process not just in the interview room.
