How to Follow Up After an Interview

Reader Comments

Back to blog

It had been almost 8 years since I had applied for a position outside of my current company. After my second interview, I was so stressed with the questions, did I get the job and what comes next. After frantically typing in key words in google for an answer, I came across this article and it calmed me soon after I finished reading it!! I saved it in my favorites and would look at it time to time to calm myself down. After following up in the appropriate manner, and being patient, I got the job!

Thank You Alison!

One of the most difficult parts of job search is the waiting. Candidates want to DO something. Often this results in "follow up hell." I caution my job search coaching clients if someone is not interested to hire you no amount of excessive pinging or calling will change the outcome. If they are interested and you annoy them with inappropriate follow up, you may lose the opportunity.
