The Period of Waiting After Submitting
The relief of finally hitting the submit button is cause for celebration. The process of writing has been made so much easier by utilizing Hardly.
But what about the days and weeks of waiting after? Puttering around the house and waiting to hear back is nobody’s idea of a good time. The longer the waiting period stretches, the more room yawns open for anxiety to slip in.
If you’re wondering what to do next, wonder no longer. Hardly has your back (and a few options of what to do in the meanwhile).
Take a Breath and Reset
It’s a lot of pressure to organize everything and apply. Taking a moment to breathe is never going to hurt. Life is always going to be chaotic and full of surprises. One moment of peace is something you shouldn’t begrudge yourself.
While applying, your eyes tend to be locked on a screen for HOURS. Hitting the submit button means screen time can finally be over. Hardly recommends stepping away from all screens, big and small. Especially right before sleeping. That text can wait (all non-urgent ones of course) and so can that new TV show.
Don’t overthink or let yourself join the negativity club. Don’t let yourself spiral into “what ifs.” Easier said than done, right?
What To Do Instead
Once you’ve hit submit, give yourself a minute. Literally.
- Step away from your screens. (Big AND small!)
- Stretch your legs. (Leg cramps from not moving are the worst.)
- Get some air. (10 minutes can make a world of difference).
- Call a friend. (Never a bad idea.)
You’ve done the hard work. Now it’s time to let your brain catch up. Focus on the things you are grateful for and things you are looking forward to.
Track and Organize Your Applications
With Hardly’s job tracker, you can see every single application you have submitted, what stage you are at with each one, and have coaches able to advise you every step of the way. Creating multiple accounts for different job portals, remembering all of those passwords, and hoping that you won’t miss the next email or phone call sounds like a hassle.
I’ve seen people utilize Excel and create gigantic spreadsheets or write down every job in their Notes app. It works for some people, but definitely not for everyone.
Don’t make extra work for yourself. Keeping track of your applications reduces stress and keeps you prepared.
By inputting the company, date applied, and the link to the job description, you’ve already organized your pile of jobs in less than a minute. Once you get an interview, you can change the status of the application to “Interviewing.” If an opportunity doesn’t work out, another click of a button greys it out.
Prepare for the Next Steps
If you’re antsy to get past relaxing and onto the next thing, we have a few tips for you. Use the waiting time to get ready for potential interviews or follow-ups.
Do the research. Companies LOVE when you already know all about the position and the company. If you bring fresh ideas to an interview or personal projects that you completed specifically for that company, that puts you 5 steps above the rest of the applicants.
Practice common interview questions. You can never practice enough. Sometimes you might have to wing it because life happens. It’s not the end of the world BECAUSE you have already spent extra time practicing for whatever might come your way. The research you have done will ensure you’re never caught off-guard with questions related to the company.
Update your portfolio or LinkedIn. Don’t think that interviewing companies won’t look over your portfolio or Linkedin before they even speak to you. You want to show and put your most polished foot forward.
Keep relevant materials (resume, cover letter) handy and polished. Printer paper won’t cut it. Invest in a few copies of your clean and simple resume on white cotton paper. You won’t regret it and your future employers will appreciate it.
Build Up Your Skills
Like I mentioned earlier, personal projects can be huge when interviewing for a specific job. In the design world, a branding project focused on the company you’d love to work at should be included in your portfolio and mentioned.
Online courses and free webinars are abundant. LinkedIn Learning is a huge resource. I highly recommend certificates. They take a few hours to a couple of days to complete, but ultimately highlight your steadfast dedication to a specific skill.
Network, Network, and Network
Friends can refer you to people in that company or industry. Those people can refer to exactly who you need. Six degrees of separation is not entirely unfounded. Everyone knows someone.
If not, sending out a few messages and emails to people in the company or industry for a cup of coffee or a 15 minute call can establish relationships and help you get you where you need to be. Down the road, it could be the tipping point of an opportunity or help create a new opportunity just for you. Make sure you aren’t just asking the person for a job. That’s shallow and transactional. Truly invest your attention in them and then they’ll invest in you AFTER building a strong relationship.
Keep Applying, But Stay Focused
Now that you’re ready to start applying again, I recommend applying to a few every day. Don’t apply to a thousand because that encourages burnout in a wildly short amount of time. Sending out a few high quality applications is worth much more in the end than a thousand half-baked applications. Make sure to proofread and ensure your resume and cover letter are saying exactly what you want them to say.
Never forget to celebrate your progress!
Conclusion: Own the In-Between
It might feel empty, just waiting for people to get back to you. Fill that time and space with things that can only help you move forward. Rest and being proactive are qualities that will serve you well, even outside of job applications.
Staying positive makes all the difference. That time between submitting and hearing back doesn’t have to feel empty. With Hardly’s tools like your resume, your tracker, and your next steps, it all becomes part of the bigger picture you’re building. You’re not just waiting. You’re moving forward.
1. Clean Up What's Collecting Dust
Let’s start by clearing out what’s no longer working. We want your career story to be told and catch the attention of those who need to hear it.
For my young professionals out there, keep your resume clean and clear with a one page maximum.
The same goes for your cover letter. It’s tempting to fit every experience into your resume — believe me, I’ve been there and done that. In the words of one of my former teachers, you don’t want the person reading it to be in a bad mood because it’s too long. When it’s too long, most people will skip through it even faster. That’s not ideal.
💡 Career experts agree; cover letters aren’t always required, but a strong one can make all the difference in your job search.
For everyone else, it’s always good to keep the most recent and relevant experiences on your resume and highlight specific instances in your cover letters. Understandably, some people have significant gaps in time in their professional careers. In those cases, prioritize relevant experiences. If there happen to be other jobs or professional experiences since then that can be highlighted, let that job you had straight after your last year of school take a backseat.
Now that we’ve got the main bullet points in place, it’s time to make sure that your resume sounds sleek and modern.
Here are some examples of tired and dated sentence phrases:
- “Responsible for handling customer inquiries." (Translation: I answered lots and lots of phone calls.)
- “Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite. (Every office job ever.)
- “Hard worker with a positive attitude.” (Yawn.)
- “Participated in team meetings and contributed ideas.” (Basically, I showed up.)
These tired phrases are holding your career story hostage. It’s time to kick them to the curb and make space for what really counts. We’ll give an example about how to revitalize phrases like this in the next section, so keep reading.
2. Keep the Gems
What’s still working for you? That introduction might have been collecting dust for a few years, but at one point it accurately described your abilities and career story. Take the tone or a certain word and refresh it.
🕰 Have you always been good with time-management? Update the wording so that strength finally gets the credit it deserves.
Before (dusty old intro):“I am a detail-oriented professional with strong time-management skills and a commitment to teamwork.”
After (much better):“A natural multitasker who thrives in fast-paced environments, I balance deadlines, projects, and collaboration with ease. Busy days become my success stories” (a perfect segue to an example of such a success story)
Of course, there isn’t anything wrong with the first introduction. It gets the job done with no extra fluff. In full transparency, the AI that reads it first won’t notice anything amiss. The only thing missing?
(It’s kind of important.)
It’s your voice. Once your resume and cover letter make it past the initial rounds, which it will, a real person will be scanning cover letter after cover letter. You want to make it stick in their minds. This is your chance to stand out in a clean and memorable way! Make it count.

2025’s Hottest Skill? Learning Fast.

Learning agility is 2025’s most valuable skill and most people already have it. It’s not about being the fastest thinker. It’s about figuring things out quickly, under pressure, and making it work.
You’ve Hit Submit. Now What?

You’ve hit submit. Now what? The in-between can feel uncertain, but it doesn’t have to. With Hardly, you can reset, refocus, and stay organized. Whether it’s tracking applications, preparing for interviews, or building new skills, every step forward counts—even while you wait.
In the ever-evolving landscape of job applications, adapting to the latest trends and technologies is crucial. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) have become an integral part of the hiring process, streamlining recruitment and helping employers find the best-fit candidates efficiently. As we step into 2024, it’s essential to understand the latest strategies for optimizing your resume to stand out in the digital crowd.
Understanding ATS Technology:
Applicant Tracking Systems use sophisticated algorithms to scan, analyze, and rank resumes based on specific criteria set by employers. In 2024, these systems are likely to become even more advanced, emphasizing the importance of tailoring your resume to align with their requirements.
Keyword Optimization:
Keywords play a pivotal role in ATS success. As technology evolves, so do the keywords relevant to specific industries and roles. Stay updated on industry trends, buzzwords, and the latest terminologies. Incorporate these keywords naturally, ensuring a seamless integration that mirrors the language used in job descriptions. Hardly’s resume builder helps ensure that you have the right keywords where it counts.
Formatting Matters:
While a visually appealing resume is important, ATS primarily looks for well-organized and cleanly formatted documents. Stick to simple, professional templates with standard fonts. Avoid graphics, charts, and elaborate designs, as these can confuse the ATS algorithms and hinder your resume’s chances of being parsed correctly.
Tailor Your Resume for Each Application:
One-size-fits-all resumes are a thing of the past. In 2024, customization is key. Tailor your resume for each job application by emphasizing the skills and experiences most relevant to the specific role. This not only enhances your chances with ATS but also captures the attention of hiring managers who may review your application after the initial digital screening.
Need help with this? Use Hardly’s free resume builder to quickly edit your resume for a specific job description.
Quantify Achievements:
ATS algorithms are becoming more adept at recognizing quantitative data. Instead of listing generic job responsibilities, focus on quantifiable achievements and results. Use numbers and percentages to highlight your impact in previous roles, providing concrete evidence of your contributions.
Include Relevant URLs:
In a tech-savvy job market, including URLs to your LinkedIn profile, personal website, or online portfolio can add depth to your application. These links not only provide additional context but also offer the ATS a more comprehensive view of your professional persona.
Optimize for Mobile:
As mobile devices continue to dominate internet usage, it’s essential that your resume is mobile-friendly. Use simple, legible fonts and avoid complex formatting that may not translate well on smaller screens. This optimization ensures that your resume is accessible to recruiters on various devices. Hardly’s free resume builder template is guaranteed to be ATS friendly.
As we step into 2024, the job market is set to become more competitive, and understanding how to navigate ATS is crucial. By staying informed about the latest trends in optimization, you can increase your chances of making it through the digital gatekeepers and securing the opportunities you deserve. Remember, it’s not just about impressing humans anymore; it’s about impressing the algorithms first.
If you want a way to shortcut your resume to success, use Hardly’s free resume builder. In a few minutes, you’ll have a show-stopping resume that is ready for any ATS. You can also check out our recent article on resume writing tips here.

You’ve hit submit. Now what? The in-between can feel uncertain, but it doesn’t have to. With Hardly, you can reset, refocus, and stay organized. Whether it’s tracking applications, preparing for interviews, or building new skills, every step forward counts—even while you wait.
Your resume is often your first opportunity to make a lasting impression on potential employers. A well-crafted resume can open doors to exciting career opportunities, while a poorly structured one may close them. In this competitive job market, it’s crucial to master the art of resume writing. Let’s explore some best practices to ensure your resume stands out and effectively showcases your skills and experiences.
Want a shortcut to resume success?
Tailor Your Resume for Each Job Application
One size does not fit all when it comes to resumes. Customize your resume for each job application by highlighting the skills and experiences most relevant to the specific position. This not only demonstrates your attention to detail but also increases your chances of catching the recruiter’s eye.
Create a Powerful Professional Summary
Your professional summary is the first thing recruiters see. Craft a concise and compelling summary that highlights your key qualifications and career goals. This section should provide a snapshot of who you are professionally and what you bring to the table.
Emphasize Achievements Over Responsibilities
Instead of listing job duties, focus on your accomplishments. Quantify your achievements wherever possible by using metrics and numbers. This gives recruiters a tangible sense of your impact in previous roles, making you a more attractive candidate.
Use Action Verbs and Be Specific
Begin each bullet point with a strong action verb to convey a sense of proactivity. Be specific about your contributions and responsibilities, avoiding vague language. This adds clarity and paints a vivid picture of your capabilities.
Organize Your Resume Effectively
Arrange your resume in a clean and organized format. Use headings and subheadings to create a logical flow, making it easy for recruiters to scan your resume quickly. Consistent formatting, font, and bullet points contribute to a polished appearance.
Highlight Relevant Skills
Incorporate a dedicated skills section that aligns with the requirements of the job. Include both hard and soft skills, ensuring a well-rounded portrayal of your capabilities. Tailor this section for each application to emphasize the skills most applicable to the position.
Include Keywords from the Job Description
Many companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen resumes. To increase your chances of passing through this initial phase, incorporate keywords from the job description. This not only demonstrates your suitability for the role but also helps your resume get noticed by the ATS.
Provide a Clear Education Section
Clearly outline your educational background, including degrees earned, institutions attended, and graduation dates. If you have relevant certifications, list them here as well. Keep this section concise but informative.
Show Your Personality
While maintaining a professional tone, inject a bit of personality into your resume. This can be achieved through your professional summary, achievements, or a designated section for interests and hobbies. This helps you stand out and adds a human touch to your application.
Proofread Thoroughly
Typos and grammatical errors can leave a negative impression. Proofread your resume meticulously to ensure it is error-free. Consider asking a friend or mentor to review it as well, gaining valuable feedback and catching any oversights.
Want a shortcut to resume success?
Crafting an effective resume is an essential skill in today’s competitive job market. By following these best practices, you can create a compelling document that showcases your strengths, experiences, and unique value proposition. Want a shortcut to resume greatness? Try Hardly’s AI Resume Builder!
Remember, your resume is not a static document; update it regularly to reflect your evolving skills and career achievements. With a well-crafted resume in hand, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the job market and land the opportunities you seek.
