Following up after a job interview is a must. It’s a core part of the job application process, yet many candidates overlook its importance. In some cases, sending a follow up could be the difference between getting a call back from an employer and not. Following up allows you to reaffirm your interest, show your appreciation, and stay top of mind in the employer’s mind.
As a Toronto recruitment agency, we’ve seen our fair share of good and not-so-good follow-ups by candidates. Here, we offer some tips to follow up after a job interview and provide a sample follow up email.
Writing a follow-up email is not difficult or time-consuming. It’s an opportunity to show graciousness and tie up any loose ends from the interview. Use these tips to create a strong follow-up email to an employer after a job interview:
Here is a basic email template you can use to write a follow-up note after a job interview:
