  How to Follow Up After Your Interview 20.09.2026 9min

  How to Follow Up After a Job Interview 31 Jan 2024 --- You got your foot in the door. You nailed the interview. Now what? Waiting to hear back from a company you’ve interviewed with is the worst. The anticipation, the worry, the dead silence — you can’t help but think that you did something wrong. Should you have sent a hand-written note to your interviewers? Why did you answer that question like that? Is it okay to follow up again? It can be challenging to get through this period of uncertainty, but there are things you can do to pass the time and even boost your chances of getting the job (especially if it’s a close race between you and another candidate). Ascend editor Kelsey Alpaio asked Yih-hsien Shen, the Associate Director and Director for JD Advising at the Harvard Law School, for her advice. She shares some tips on exactly what to do after a job interview, from sending an impactful thank you note to following up with a gentle nudge. 0:00 Introduction 1:23 Take some notes about the interview 1:54 Email a thank-you note the next day 2:31 Mention one specific highlight 2:51 Keep it short and simple 3:36 Clean out your voice-mail box 3:46 Have a professional voice-mail greeting 4:18 Give your references a heads-up 4:47 Reflect on the possibility of getting hired 5:02 401(k) match Hybrid work 5:31 Waiting two weeks is pretty standard 5:47 Show enthusiasm 5:50 Offer to answer any questions 6:18 It's OK to ask for feedback Produced by Andy Robinson, Kelsey Alpaio Video by Andy Robinson and Elainy Mata Editing by Andy Robinson Animation and Design by Alex Belser and Karen Player Subscribe to our newsletter: https://hbr.org/email-newsletters?movetile_hbpascendnl&hideIntromercial=true ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Learn more about your ad choices.

  Tsedal Neeley on Why We Need to Think of the Office as a Tool, with Very Specific Uses 20.09.2026 41min

  Tsedal Neeley on Why We Need to Think of the Office as a Tool, with Very Specific Uses 14 Jan 2022 --- HBS professor Tsedal Neeley specializes in how companies can scale, go global, and achieve digital transformation. She thinks the future of work is not going to be a choice between in-person, remote, or hybrid. You need to “be fabulous in all of them and learn how to connect with people and work well with people” in order to achieve your goals, she says. She is the author of "Remote Work Revolution: Succeeding from Anywhere" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BLLQDZG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1), and is co-author of the forthcoming "The Digital Mindset: What It Really Takes to Thrive in the Age of Data, Algorithms, and AI" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099KQLCWY/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1). This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

  How to Conquer Nonstop Notifications at Work | Christine vs Work 20.09.2026 15min

  Beep! Bzzzt. That incessant knockbrush! Work message notifications run nonstop all day, every day, and there doesn’t seem to be signs of stopping. It’s exhausting.In today’s global, remote, WiFi-powered workspaces, the majority of async communication is conducted through email, direct message, or system notifications. Responding to this bottomless stream of requests can be time-consuming, not to mention stressful and mentally taxing. I needed some advice. How do I avoid getting burned out by work messages? What are some things I can do to set boundaries? And how do I create a healthier relationship with my inbox? I sought answers from Daniel Sieberg—Director of Innovation Marketing at Moody's Corporation, Co-Founder of Good Trust, and author of The Digital Diet.

  How the Unionization Trend is Changing Workplace Dynamics | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 7 Dec 2022 --- For years, union membership has been shrinking in the United States and many other countries. But recently we’ve seen a resurgence, with employees in sectors like retail, hospitality, and media organizing to collectively bargain for better pay, benefits, and job flexibility. Thomas Kochan, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, has long studied how unions affect individual, team, and corporate performance. He explains why some fears about them are overblown, how workers form successful ones, and how leaders can partner with these groups to ensure the best outcomes for everyone.

  TikTok: Super App or Explosive Star? | Cold Call 20.09.2026 34min

  TikTok: Super App or Supernova? | Cold Call 31 May 2023 --- TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, was launched in 2012 around the simple idea of helping users entertain themselves on their smartphones while on the Beijing Subway. By May 2020, TikTok operated in 155 countries and, together with Douyin (its China app), it had roughly one billion monthly active users, placing it in the top ranks of digital platforms globally. Some industry experts argued that it was the first consumer app operating at scale where artificial intelligence (or AI) was the product. But TikTok had drawn the attention of competitors, regulators, and politicians — especially in the U.S., where commercial success was critical to its long-term enterprise value. With less than two percent of its global revenue generated in the U.S., should the company continue to drive growth there or focus on monetizing that audience by introducing revenue generating activities like advertising? Would TikTok become the first “Super App” with a global footprint or, if it moved too fast, did it run the risk of becoming a supernova that shone brightly only for a passing moment? Harvard Business School senior lecturer Jeffrey Rayport discusses these strategic challenges in his case, “TikTok in 2020: Super App or Supernova?” (https://hbsp.harvard.edu/product/821087-PDF-ENG) This episode originally aired on Cold Call on November 30, 2021.

  To Reinvent Your Career, Start by Dreaming Up a New You 19.09.2026 40min

  To Reinvent Your Career, Start by Imagining a New You 7 Sep 2023 --- For most of us, reinvention—of our careers and ourselves—is an extremely tall order. As London Business School professor Herminia Ibarra notes, you might know what you don’t want to do any more but be unsure what you actually do want to do next. People “don't know how to search when they don't know exactly what they're searching for,” she says. Much more important than trying to figure out the next career step is thinking more broadly about your possible selves, and then exploring several of those possible selves simultaneously. This is where having a diverse network helps a lot. And while most of us hate networking, Ibarra has tips on how to become better at that too. For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Ibarra, a prolific author who is an expert on career transitions, to discuss: • How to transition smoothly and successfully from one career to another • Being authentic in the workplace without limiting your own growth and evolution • How to break out of insular networks to truly connect with those who can link you to new opportunities. Two of Ibarra’s books are coming out next month in updated editions: Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career and Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader. Book links: https://www.amazon.com/Working-Identity-Updated-Preface-Unconventional-ebook/dp/B0BTMQ97ZG/ https://www.amazon.com/Leader-Updated-Global-Bestseller-Preface-ebook/dp/B0BTMQN19H/ This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.
