I recently applied for an Inside Digital Sales Rep position within VMware. It has been a couple of weeks since applying and I have heard nothing and the application page just says my application status is “Under Review”. Does anyone know the usual wait time to hear back? Or know anyone within recruiting I might be able to contact? Thanks for your time!

I’m not from VMware but used to work at a competitor company. Based on my experience, a “couple weeks” isn’t a good sign. Either you didn’t make the cut, or they’re already down the line with other first choice prospects and unless there’s an issue ie. finalised candidate rejects the offer and they have to restart the process, it doesn’t look like you will be called up. HR is always working based on priority and lining up tons of back ups. So that’s why they will never reject you outright.

But having said that, did you follow up with any one at all regarding your role? There’s tons of things you can do, ie. email the recruiter every week to follow up, or find them on LinkedIn, find the hiring manager on LinkedIn, find anyone who you can speak to… any way in. Get yourself noticed. Worst case scenario, someone on the inside will reveal “oh we found someone already” or you could get a glance at your profile/resume and someone will feedback why you were not considered for the job/what they’re looking for in particular right now/what to work on.

Sometimes rejection is not just all “YOU”, it could also be best fit for the team profile, eg they could be looking for a more senior person to help complement the team/the team has a lot of experience and back ground in A and they want to diversify and look for someone experienced in B. So don’t take it personally, it’s just a matter of following up closely (remember the half life theory) and overall it’s about timing whether you get the job or not.

Hope this helps & good luck!

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
