Keep your follow up letter brief and to the point - only ensure that you emphasise the key requirements of the job and how you match them closely.
You need a follow up letter like this example letter when you've already had some contact with the recruitment consultants who are handling the recruitment assignment that interests you. You want to be sure that your name is put forward for the position you want, so following up with a letter to remind them of the conversation is always worthwhile.
Follow Up On Contacts
If you are still looking for a job, here are some tips on how to follow up on your contacts:
- Send a thank you note right after the interview, ideally after a couple of days. This is a way of getting the prospective employer to hear from you again. Should you not get hired for the current position that they offer, someone from that company will likely keep your information on file for future consideration. Write a follow up letter if you don't hear back in 10 days.
- Make sure that you leave your mobile and land line number, e-mail address and home address so that prospective employers will have no excuse of not getting in touch with you.
- Be accurate in getting the contact information of perspective employers. In return, when you place their information on any letter that you send out (i.e. resumes, thank you notes) avoid typographical errors and make sure that you have their names correct, to see to it that everything is in order.
- Some companies do take a look at your character references so alert the people on your list that they might receive a call from your prospective employers.
- Always be on the positive side. Should you not get hired for a particular position, you may ask the people from that company for referrals to other companies or at least keep you in mind for future hiring.
