Good companies stay in touch with their "silver medalists" and try to continue conversations with them even if they don't get the job offer. Thanks for commenting! Cynthia,

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:22:20 +0000 http://www.careersolvers.com/blog/?p=226#comment-239 Your final comments about transparency are right on target. Ha! interviewing was so much easier a few years ago when you could basically bluff your way into a position with city savvy and charm as your allies. Now you better google yourself and see what pops up because that's what the hiring manager is doing. Since last year I've pretty much done all my hiring online using inked In or Dayak. Both great tools to streamline the grueling process of resume and reference review. At dayak the recruiters screen and then during the interview process I perform the background check. And never count yourself out of the game, if you know you made the final cut -- keep in touch, using the networks these days it's easy enough and almost expected.
