Following Up After an Interview
Immediately upon arriving home after an interview, send a thank you note to every person with whom you met. In addition, send a note to the person who coordinated the interview. This is likely the person who called you to first schedule the interview.
If you were asked to send additional materials, or if you would like to send additional materials to support you candidacy, do so. Such materials might be an article you mentioned that the interviewer had not read, or a copy of a paper you wrote in college in which the interviewer had expressed an interest.
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to send a thank you note or make a thank you call to any person who helped you get this interview. This helps you keep your contacts posted on your progress, and can serve s a reminder that you are still looking. Perhaps they have heard of something else that has opened up!
Depending on what information you were given at the end of the interview, call within one week to inquire about your status. Try to place this call to the most senior manager to whom you spoke, preferably the manager of the person who would supervise you. If you cannot contact this person, call the person who coordinated the interview.
