How to Follow Up After an Interview

Send a thank-you email within 24 hours. Keep it short: thank them for their time, mention one specific discussion point, and reiterate your interest. If they said they'd get back by a certain date, you don't need to follow up before that.

If the date has passed and you haven't heard back, one polite follow-up is fine: 'I wanted to check in on the status of my application. I'm still very interested in the role.' Give it at least 3–5 working days after the said date.

Avoid multiple follow-ups or sounding impatient. If they don't respond after one or two attempts, move on. Use the same email thread so they have context. Always be professional and brief.
