17Follow- up Communications
What?
Follow-up is a pivotal part of the application process and it can potentially serve as a
deciding factor for the employer
The intent is to be courteous and thank the employer for the interview
It reflects your professionalism and continuing interest in the job
Why?
When chosen for a job interview, you are being considered seriously for a position
Follow-up communications can also be taken as an opportunity to address any questions
you have, to mention something important you forgot to say, or correct a mistake you
made during the interview
When?
A follow-up should be sent 1-2 days after an interview
Normally only follow up once with an employer
If a significant amount of time has passed between a second or third interview, you may
send a quick note to inquire on the status of the hiring process
How?
A follow-up is primarily done over email, however a professionally written thank you
note can distinguish you from others
Only follow-up one time per interview
Example of a professional follow-up email
