Overcommunicating Is Never Something to Be Ashamed Of

Intel Brief

A candidate apologized for following up on someone else's dropped ball — that's not annoying, that's an A-Player.

Operator Note

Had a candidate apologize for checking in on an interview update because somebody ELSE hadn't contacted him when they said they would.

Trying to define an A-Player?

Right there ^.

The dude was worried HE was being annoying for following up on someone else's dropped ball.

Overcommunicating is never something to be ashamed about.

I'll take that 100 times out of 100 over the person you have to chase down just to get a response.

Having standards and holding others to their word is GOOD business practice.
