Strike while the iron is hot!

In my previous blog a job seeker was trying to figure out how to get back to a company that he was close to getting an offer.  Please read how I suggested to follow up but this presents a much different challenge to job seekers. 

Really this is a challenge to every sales person out there.  What to do when you are waiting for the big deal to close.  Great sales people call on the next business.  My mom always tells me that she hates walking into a store and getting greeted by a hungry salesman.  They are so desperate to make a sale that they make everyone feel uncomfortable. 

To the contrary, a salesperson who just made the sale of the century or feel good about his sales that month is great to work with because he is relaxed almost like he does not need your sale.
When you are in the thick of the interviewing process the best thing that you can do for yourself is continue to look elsewhere. 

It is a great time find new leads, research new companies and set up other interviews.  Too many of us finally get the interview, then we wait to hear back, then we get depressed, then we sulk, then we start over.

Do yourself a favor strike while the iron’s hot.
