Cracking the Code: Step 5— Follow-up communication
TLDR: This is the 5th of the 8 steps in my journey of networking, interviewing, and landing my dream job during layoffs. So stay tuned!
Recruiters and people you’ve contacted, are often juggling various responsibilities and commitments. Therefore, sending a follow-up email goes a long way & can be highly beneficial in maintaining communication.
In my experience, allowing 1–2 weeks before sending a follow-up is a good practice. To assist you, here’s a template I’ve successfully used to follow up with recruiters:
“Hello <Recruiters Name>,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my appreciation for our discussion regarding the <Role Name> position at <Company Name>. Could you kindly provide any updates you might have regarding the progress of the interview process? I’m enthusiastic about the opportunity to potentially interview with <Company Name> and I’m looking forward to any insights you can share.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Thanks & Regards,
<Your name>”
Tip: Scheduling the email to be sent at 9 am the following morning can be advantageous, as it ensures your email appears at the top of the recruiter’s inbox. This way, it’s more likely to catch their attention promptly.
