The Go-To Follow-Up Email Template

Going through the interview process, one can become so focused on preparing to answer questions that other practices like sending follow-up notes are forgotten. A follow-up email or letter is a low-effort gesture that can differentiate you as a thoughtful job applicant, and it provides you with another opportunity to further engage with the hiring manager. Use the following template for any follow-up message you want to send in the future.

Dear [name],

I look forward to hearing from you [and working together in the future.]

Sincerely,

[your name]
