How to Follow Up after an Interview

Following up after an interview is key to leaving a lasting impression. Here’s how to do it effectively:

  1. Send a Thank-You Email: Within 24 hours, send a brief thank-you email. Express gratitude, mention specifics from the interview, and reinforce your enthusiasm for the role.

  2. Clarify and Reinforce: Address any questions you couldn’t fully answer and briefly highlight your top strengths that align with the role.

  3. Inquire About Next Steps: Politely ask about the hiring timeline if it wasn’t discussed.

  4. Consider LinkedIn: Optionally, connect with the interviewer on LinkedIn with a brief personalised note.

  5. Follow Up Again if Needed: If there’s no response within the expected timeline, send a brief follow-up email to reiterate your interest.

A courteous, proactive follow-up shows professionalism and reinforces your interest, which can help you stand out in a competitive process.
