Three career coaches and consultants in New York offer this advice about the most effective way to do it.  \n1. Send an Email, not a handwritten note.  \nSome people think a handwritten note will make them stand out from the crowd. The coaches disagree. “It will make you look like a dinosaur.”  \n2. Sooner is better than later.  \nIf you’re competing with another equally qualified candidate, and she beats you to the follow-upnote punch, you’ll have put yourself at a disadvantage. Do write as soon as possible. The coaches all recommend doing so within 48 hours.  \n3. Late is better than never.  \nWe all drop the ball sometimes. If you’ve missed the 48-hour deadline, write anyway.  \n4. Consider sending a second, more substantial note.  \nIt makes sense to send a quick, enthusiastic thank you right after the interview – with a promise that you’ll soon send along a more substantial note.  \n5. Focus on the Interviewer.  \nIn your e-mail, make it clear that you listened to the interviewer’s needs and concerns and that you’re prepared to address them.  \n6. Talk about how you can add value and solve problems.  \nWrite your note as if you were a consultant for the company where you want to work.  \n7. Even if you blew the interview, do follow up.  \nAcknowledge any gaffes. You could say,“I felt I didn’t represent myself in the best possible light.” Atthe least, you want the hiring manager to become a networking contact.  \nA4TD Network to Work meeting – November 2017 Resource document, pg. 1  \n8. If you don’t hear back, pick up the phone.  \nUse a three-strikes policy: two e-mails followed by a phone call if you haven’t gotten any response.  \n9. Proofread carefully.  \nOne of the most common mistakes job-seekers make is sending a follow-up email with typos. Ask a friend to proofread your note, and/or slowly read it aloud yourself. Pay particularly close attention to the spelling of people’s names.  \n10. If you’re upset, give yourself time to cool off.  \nJob seeking is an emotional process, and it’s upsetting when you don’t hear from a potential  \nemployer. But if you’re feeling angry, don’t try to write an email. Give yourself a day to calm down.  \nAdapted from “How to Follow Up on a Job Interview” from Forbes magazine, 2017.  \n[https://www.forbes.com/pictures/fmlm45eegf/how-to-follow-up-after-a-job-interview/\\#7c06e1e546c1](https://www.forbes.com/pictures/fmlm45eegf/how-to-follow-up-after-a-job-interview/#7c06e1e546c1)  \nHow to Follow Up by Email after an Interview  \nIn general, there are three kinds of follow-up emails you can send after an interview. In the best case, you only need to send one email —a note that thanks your interviewers for their time and expresses your enthusiasm for the job. This note should be sent within 24 hours. Its message should be straight forward and clear, and don’t be shy. Tell them you’re excited to hear back and wanted to check if there’s an update or decision yet.  \nSometimes, weeks can pass after an interview without a response from a potential employer. If this happens, you can send a second follow-up email to check in.  \nFinally, if you feel comfortable doing this, you can also send an email asking to stay in touch with the hiring manager. If you didn’t get the job, this is a great way to expand your network and learn how to improve your chances the next time.  \nA . Subject Lines:  \nThe follow up email subject line is very important. It decides whether your email gets opened and how fast. Ideally you should follow up with whoever told you they would “be in touch”. Conversely, you may follow up with whoever you’d been talking to for scheduling of the interview, etc.  \nThe best subject line, and the one that will get opened fastest, is one which is a simple reply to the latest email exchange you had with the ","cbCaipBNGPvU8hpE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipBNGPvU8hpE","pdf",235733,6,"English","# FOLLOW UP - JOB INTERVIEW\n## Pointers - Following Up on a Job Interview\n## How to Follow Up by Email after an Interview\n## A.
