The Power of Patience in the Hiring Process

At times, delays and schedule changes may affect the hiring process — and as a candidate, that can be frustrating or nerve-wracking. Perhaps a final round date is pushed back, or the application deadline is changed. Instead of immediately reacting to these changes, it may be a good idea to remain patient. Your first instinct may be to send a message inquiring why the search is experiencing delays or what next steps may be for you as a candidate. Instead, your potential employer may appreciate your willingness to remain flexible as search dates change or delays occur. Patience can be a powerful tool, and can even help you stand out as a top candidate.
