Waiting for your US college acceptance letter is tough â¦ hereâs how to bide your time. For a lot of college-bound students, waiting for thick acceptance packages â or skinny rejection letters â from universities is the toughest part of the whole application process. The anxiety can become overwhelming as each day passes with no news.
Many job-seekers donât realize, however, that showing up too early often creates a poor first impression as well. Arriving more than 10 minutes early for an interview is a dead giveaway that the job-seeker has too much time on his or her hands, much like the last one picked for the softball team. Donât diminish your candidate desirability by appearing desperate. Act as if your time were as valuable as the interviewerâs. Always arrive on time, but never more than 10 minutes early. Treating the receptionist rudely: Since the first person you meet on an interview is usually a receptionist, this encounter represents the first impression youâll make. Donât mistake low rank for low input.
In the two cases that I am directly familiar with, the invitation to appear for an interview (a required part of the process) came after about two weeks. You then are invited to go online to schedule an interview, and how long it can be before you get an appointment will vary, it could take weeks! If you have the good fortune to be passing through JFK airport, you will be able to get an appointment much faster. My impression is that those folks are the internal champions for this program and they offer lots of interview slots, all day, every day, 7 days a week.
