Thank you so much for your time and the privilege of having an interview with you yesterday, October 25, during your recruiting visit to Virginia Tech. In your inquiry, mention the following: name of the person who interviewed you, time and place of the interview, position for which you are applying (if known), and ask the status of your application. A polite inquiry shows that you are still interested in the organization and may prompt the employer to get on schedule with a response. Someone or an unexpected circumstance may be holding up the process. If more than a week has passed beyond the date when you were told you would hear something from the employer (and barring some major event in the news like a merger or acquisition or other event that would be taking employees' attention), call or email to politely inquire about the status of the organization's decision-making process. If the interviewer did not tell you, and you did not ask, use your follow-up / thank-you letter to ask. You can also simply thank the employer for her/his time in speaking with you perhaps they gave you advice you found helpful.īefore your interview ended, your interviewer should have informed you of the organization's follow-up procedures - from whom (same person who interviewed you, someone else), by what means (phone, email, etc.), and when you would hear again from the organization. A letter or email to follow up later at an appropriate time is a good way to show initiative and continued interest. The employer might have given you instructions to do something - research, follow up later, apply on the employer's website, etc. You can also follow up after speaking with an employer at a career fair. Follow up with any information the employer may have asked you to provide after the interview.Demonstrate that you have good manners and know to write a thank-you letter. If you thought of something you forgot to mention in the interview, mention it in your follow-up / thank-you letter.
