When Should I Follow up After an Interview

You just had a great interview and were able to get across your qualifications and connect in a meaningful way with the hiring manager. After a job interview with a potential employer, it’s important to follow up with a thank you note and seize the opportunity to remind them why they should hire you!

We recommend the following:

Send an email or handwritten thank you note to every person you interviewed with as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours after the interview. Keep it simple and make each thank you note slightly different from the others. The timing of this note is of the utmost importance because it shows genuine appreciation as well as a go-getter attitude. Make sure when you do follow up, you promote your candidacy and remind them why they need you on their team!
