Because how you follow up after an interview is more important than you think.

You wouldn’t take a pretty girl on one date and expect her to do all the work of getting in touch with you for a second date, would you? I don’t care how charming you are. That’s a recipe for a lonely night.
That same line of thinking applies to job hunting. If you walked out the door of your job interview and thought that was the end of it, think again.
The follow-up is an oft-misunderstood art form. Too often a job is lost because a very well-qualified applicant displays no more interest in the job as soon as the door to the HR office closes behind them.
If you’re looking to master the art of the follow-up, here are a few tips.

Trying to stand out in a crowd is not always the best way to stand out.
I was once chatting with an old friend of mine about his dating struggles. Or rather, struggles about his lack of serious dating.
In his late 30′s, single and wanting very much to start a family, he felt the pressure mounting as time crept on. As a result, he began looking for new ways to meet that special someone.
Later that year, he signed up to a major dating site and spent 3 months meeting site members whose profiles showed that they had similar interests.
Unfortunately, the 3 months went by without him meeting anyone significant which, although he didn’t say so, only made the situation seem more desperate.
However, when I asked him why he thought it didn’t work out, he responded with 2 key insights to dating websites:
* How good you look in your profile picture will decide whether people continue reading your profile
* When a better-looking person is potentially just one click away, you need to look great to keep people from clicking too quickly
Although he’s a decent-looking guy, he didn’t stand much of a chance in that situation.

Put less pressure on yourself by job searching while employed.

There are always individuals with jobs who for one reason or another choose to search for a different position.
When those cases arise, it behooves the individual to be as discreet as possible so that their present employer is not privy to their search, something that in the end could cost the employee their present job.
The last thing you want is to really need to search for a job because you just lost your current job due to wasting the employer’s time.
In the event you want or feel the need to get another position while presently employed, keep these factors in mind.

Beat the biggest problem people have with networking events.
Some ideas on how to break the ice at your next networking event or just on the street.
After a recent all-day conference, I was about to head home when a friend there, Natasha Shine of Rounds, said she was on her way down the street for the evening networking event at another all-day conference.
“Well… I’m pretty tired,” I told her.
“Come on, you’ll meet a lot of entrepreneurs,” she pushed back, and that was all it took.
Good thing I went.
