After the Interview (Follow Up)
Follow Up • Write a thank you note to the interviewer(s) within 24 hours, reiterating your interest and strongest qualifications. • Complete any follow up request from employer. • Contact your references to let them know how it went and to potentially expect to hear from the company. Your enthusiasm may be conveyed by your references. • During the interview, ask about the selection process. If the interviewer doesn’t contact you as promised by the designated time, contact them. It is reasonable to follow up after a week or two following your interview. This demonstrates your interest and ability to follow up.
