If you’ve interviewed for a job that you feel good about, one of the best ways to increase your chances of getting it is by following up.
A post-interview followup is a standard protocol in today’s job market and should be prepared for as thoroughly as the interview. This article is going to show you what to say when you followup your job interview.
How To Follow Up After A Job Interview
You always want a way to stand out from other job candidates. You want to keep the hiring manager or recruiter thinking about you after the interview.
Recruiters are humans like you and I. They are more apt to remember job candidates that they have spoken to or interacted with more recently.
Why You Should Always Say ‘Thank You’ After A Job Interview
Everyone likes to hear kind words about them. In a job setting, good manners can go a long way.
If you simply write your hiring manager or recruiter a nice note saying “thank you,” you set yourself a part.
Another benefit is you get to reinforce some of the values you portrayed during your interview.
That’s why you should always follow up with them after you’re done interviewing. Here’s a sample email that has worked for me in the past.
Hello, this is [name], I just want to say that I very much appreciated our interview.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and am confident that given the chance, my specific skill sets, especially my attention to detail (or experience related to the job) can make a difference in your organization.
Of course, you can tweak that correspondence anyway you see fit. The point is to say something that promotes who you are and your skills.
Always commend the interviewer for a job well done. Who doesn’t like to feel good, right?
When Should You Follow Up After The Interview?
You may be wondering when is the best time to follow up after your interview.
There is no specific set time that works best when it comes to reaching back out to the interviewer or recruiter. Some people may choose to do so a day or two days later. Some may prefer to follow up three days later.
It really depends on what the interviewer has going on and whether they’re in a rush to fill the position.
Conclusion
A followup letter, postcard or email is a necessity in today’s job market. The biggest obstacle to making it happen is getting the email address of the hiring manager or recruiter.
