Map Your Follow-Up Strategy

26 November, 2015 - 12:42

Once you’ve interviewed for a position, note your expected follow-up on your calendar. If the company representative said you will be contacted in a week, mark that on your calendar. If you aren’t contacted, add another three or four days onto your calendar and then follow up with the company. After that, maintain consistent communication to help produce positive results.

Different ways to keep in touch include the following:

  • Thank the company’s representative for either the interview or the update.
  • Give a results update.
  • Send holiday greetings (throughout the year).
  • Share an article about the company or about a common interest.
  • Express congratulations on positive news about the representative’s career or the company.
  • Make a referral.
