Following Up After an Interview

Following up after an interview falls into the category of unwritten rules. Few interviewers would ever explicitly tell you to do it, it’s often expected all the same. For example, sending a thank you note after an interview is simply considered common courtesy. If you fail to do so, an interviewer might think that you’re not taking the interview process seriously.

For another reason, interviewers are busy people. At any one given time, a interviewer may be coordinating with dozens of candidates to fill the open requisitions they’ve been assigned to. Some times information regarding interviewees can slip through the cracks or get misplaced. If you don’t follow up, you might just get passed over.

And finally, following up after an interview demonstrates that you’re serious about the opportunity. And as any recruiter can tell you, this is one of the biggest criteria they look for in job seekers. Proving that you’re invested in a job and company signal to a interviewer that you would be a high-quality hire who would likely stick around for the long haul.
