The interview follow up is a great opportunity to make a further possitive impression, and in a competitive market you must not miss this chance.

I’m not talking about fawning, nor am I suggesting pestering or any overtly aggressive pressure techniques.

After a job interview, the post interview follow up simply gives you a great chance to do something most of your competitors, wont bother to do.

Thank your interviewer (s) for their time, and the courtesy they extended to you.

It's a big mistake not to take this chance to score further points, after all when have you ever received a thank you of any kind and not felt more favorably towards that person?

It may be a small point, but it could be the decisive one! You also get the chance to subtly reconfirm your interest and suitability, or address anything which you may feel necessary following the interview.

If you’ve decided the role is not for you, still email a thank you, your professionalism will be noted, and you never know when you may bump into this person / people again, in the future.

Never miss a chance to make a good impression.

How exactly should I follow up after interview ?

My personal preference is that you send a thank you email, the evening after your interview. You can opt for a posted letter if you think it appropriate, but for most cases, I think timing it so your interviewer will see your thank you as they open their inbox the next morning, makes the best impression.

Next stage – Follow up by phone .

If during the interview process they have told you the time scale involved, make a note of this date in your diary and schedule your call.

Be aware that interview time frames often slip, so don’t show impatience if this happens.

When calling Keep the conversation friendly and conversational, restate your interest and fit for the role, and ask what the new time frames are expected to be.

If these time-frames slip further consider writing and posting a letter. Again thanking them for their courtesy shown at the interview, and confirming your ongoing interest.

It’s worth stating again that showing these professional courtesy’s will mark you as a true professional with an eye for detail.

What company would not want to hire somebody with this level of professionalism!
