The most important follow up letter is the one you send after a job interview

When you submit a resume to a company of your choice, you may often receive a general reply that you will be contacted. After some weeks have passed by and you do not receive a reply, it might be time to follow up with a letter.

Follow up letters can be very useful in many different circumstances

Follow up or thank you letters after an interview show responsibility, communication skills and appreciation on the part of the candidate.

Besides that you can use the space on a follow up letter to reassert your qualifications for the job and rekindle the employer‘s interest in your candidacy.

A follow up letter allows you to remind the employers about yourself and to show an interest in the job

A follow up letter can also be useful in other situations.

Here is a sample follow up letter after an Informational Interview:

Dear Mr. Watson:

I appreciate your taking the time to talk with me about your work as a Financial Accountant at NovaVision.

I have learned a great deal from the interview and the advice you provided me is sure to help me in my job search.

Hearing about your work experiences has made me more enthusiastic about starting my career as an accountant and I have gained increased confidence that I made the right career choice.

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to learn so much. I am currently in touch with the contacts you provided me and they have been very helpful.

I would very much appreciate it if you could provide me with the contact information of any additional persons you know, in the accounting field, who can help me in my job search.

Sincerely,

Ronald G. Ehrenberg



Follow up letters do not just comprise of thank you letters sent to employers after an interview.

They can be useful in a variety of circumstances

Some people worry that they might come across as too desperate or annoying if they follow up after they have submitted their resume...

However if your resume has been stuck under a pile of other resumes, the employer might be glad to receive a reminder.

A follow up letter allows your candidacy for the job to be put into the foreground again, after your resume has been looked over. In a highly competitive job environment the more attention you receive from employers the better.
