Interview Follow-up
What you do after your interview may be as important as your initial preparation. Human resource personnel remember candidates who go beyond the expected. An immediate e-mail expressing gratitude for the opportunity to interview shows professional courtesy and respect, and keeps your name in interviewers’ minds. Follow up with a written thank-you letter sent through regular mail. Other considerations include:
• Update of job-search checklist
• Check on required paperwork
• Patience
• Follow-up phone call
• Understanding (if the process is slow or another candidate is hired)—you don’t want to burn bridges
