After a job interview, follow up is essential. The way you approach the powers that be could make or break your chances at getting the job, so be sure you approach them the right way. Use these key tips to make sure you follow up properly and make a great impression.

1.  Call the Hiring Manager to Get Feedback: Wait the time period specified in the inteview, and then call to follow up on the position. Call every 3-4 days to see if there has been a decision made on the position.  More becomes harassment, less implies that you aren’t interested. Your goal is to show your commitment to obtaining a position, without being rude.
2. Thank the Manager for an Interview: We covered the thank you letter last week - be sure to send one! Taking the time to send a thank you letter makes a great first impression and shows that you’re serious about the job.
3. Ask for Feedback - Even if You DON’T Get the Job:  Although it may be a blow to the ego, asking for feedback from an interviewer is a crucial part of the interviewing process. It will give you vital information that you can use for the next job interview. And it shows the interviewer that you are a serious, business minded professional.

Now you have the essential information you’ll need to follow up after your next job interview. Use it wisely, and you may be on the way to your next successful career.
