Advise me please: The job application / environment / culture

10 years ago

Dear all,

May I ask: What is the typical job application environment in the UK (London area) like?

I.e. from where I come, you send in an application, and perhaps, a single call to introduce yourself might reflect a keen interest. Once the organisation makes contact, you reply, and avoid frequent, unnecessary follow-ups - might be seen as pressuring.

What about the UK? I have currently applied for a position, they they have found my candidature interesting, we have had a phone interview, and I should be travelling to the UK shortly to attend the interview.

However, I want to avoid any misgivings on the end. The interview itself has been postponed, and my normal behaviour (and the normal culture here) would be allow people their space. So, while I respond immediately to emails and queries, I do not follow-up with frequent and incessant emails. Would that be seen as not being keenly interested? I am currently in discussions with others than the recruiting managers, would it be appropriate to send a simple email to the recruiting manager?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.
