INTERVIEW FOLLOW UP COMMUNICATION PROCESS AND TIPS
2
Here are some tips that will help you to
complete the follow up process after the
interview
3

• Be quick The golden rule says that you should
• express thanks within twenty-four hours of
• your interview. This however depends on
• where the decision is coming up immediately
• or lately.
• Be aware When it comes to follow up following
• your interview, make sure that you use the
  correct
• way to communicate. Dont take the risk of
  emailing
• your thanks through your mobile, as spelling
  and
• grammar mistakes can creep in.

4

• Patience is the key We know that waiting for
• the call can be excruciating, but you have to
  be
• patient and respect the time that the
• interviewer is taking.
• Inquire about the next steps While wrapping
  up
• your interview, you can ask the interviewer
  about the
• steps that will follow the interview. This
  will enable to
• you to plan your follow up communication
  accordingly.
•

• Keep your message as positive as
  possible Even if the employer is taking time to
  convey his or her decision, you should not
  accuse them in your letter.
• Your follow up letter or message should not
  sound negative
• from any aspect, as this will mar your
  chances of being
• selected. Simply, remind your interviewer
  that you enjoyed
• the interview and can ask politely how the
  process is
• progressing.

6

• Go for a call While choosing between a call
  and an email to
• follow up with your employer, you can go for
  the call, if you
• are confident with your situation. There are
  certain benefits
• that calling provides in place of emailing
  your thanks or follow
• up message. First, it provides you a chance
  to have an open dialogue
• with your recruiter, which can be difficult
  to sum up in an email.
• Further, this adds more character to your
  communication, and helps
• you to find out what is going on in your
  employers mind immediately.
• However, if you are not able to make a call,
  then you should opt for an
• email to thank your employers for the time
  they spared for you. At
• times, employers themselves instruct
  candidates to communicate via
• email after the interview, in such cases you
  have to follow the company
• norms only.

7

• Keep in touch You should plan your follow
  up
• communication periodically instead of
  pestering your
• manager repeatedly. The aim is to be
  connected with the
• company and the employer, so that you can
  be under the
• radar.
• Mention recent events this is one of the
  best ways
• to make your follow up communication
  different from other
• candidates. You can mention some recent
  events or news
• pertaining to the company in your follow up
  message. 

8

• Be very professional When you paid attention
  to every
• little detail from the beginning of your job
  search, then you
• should not make any mistakes until the end.
  Experts say that it
• is completely fine to send a thank you or
  follow up message
• unless the employer explicitly mention that
  candidates should
• not send any replies or follow up messages.
  You just have to
• make sure that you remain professional while
  communicating
• with the employer. For your follow up
  communication, you
• should always contact the employer through
  business accounts
• instead of their personal email addresses.
  Never try to contact your
• employer on his personal phone number or try
  to reach out to them
• at their home. This can turn the table
  against you.
