In this episode of Back to Work, I break down exactly what happens after you hit “submit” on a job application; because that moment can feel like the biggest question mark.
I walk you through what to do next, how to prepare, and how to keep your confidence high while you wait for responses. I share the most common mistakes moms make during this stage, why not hearing back often has nothing to do with you, and how to shift from “waiting and hoping” to “expecting and preparing.”
I also explain what recruiters look for during that first phone screen, why your energy and environment matter more than you think, and how to make a great impression even in a five-minute call.
You’ll hear practical tips like updating your voicemail, researching the company ahead of time, preparing your key talking points, and how to handle calls you’re not ready for (hint: send them to voicemail and call back professionally).
If you're a stay-at-home mom returning to work and you're unsure how to navigate this part of the hiring process, this episode gives you clear, simple steps so you can show up confident, prepared, and ready for your next opportunity.
