What do I do after I get the HR contact?
Copy and save the contact, check that your application is actually submitted, send one short message, then add the job to your tracker so you know when to follow up.
Your next four steps
- Copy and save the contact
Press Copy on the number, then save it in your phone with the company name.
The card does not keep a history you can go back to.
- Confirm your application
Contact HR is not an application. Go back to the job and press Quick Apply if you have not already.
- Send one message
Use Contact on WhatsApp and keep it short. See what to write.
- Track it
Add the job to your job tracker so the follow up does not slip.
While you wait
- Apply to two or three similar roles on Jobs
- Run your resume through the scanner, see Resume scanner
- Practise with a mock interview, see AI mock interview
