Executives: The Right Way to Followup After an Interview

748Media.com prepares Executives
for their next C-Suite opportunity.

Timely followup at the right time after completing an interview will increase your chances of getting the job offer. The right followup can keep you in the mind of the hiring manager and reinforce that you are the right person for the job.1. Send a Thank You Note
You can send a email or a handwritten note but ultimately, a handwritten note will make a bigger impact. The note should be custom, written on executive stationary and no boilerplate text. Thank the hiring manager for the opportunity and the time. Tell why you are the right person for the job.2. Immediately After The Interview
Analyze each person you talked to, including receptionists and secretaries. Write down the key points of the interviews. What were the big questions? Do this starting with your 1st contact with the company that way you can build a consistent set of answers. Make a note of anything you forgot to say as you can weave it into future conversations or interviews. Remember don't stress your analysis, the more you analyze, the more critical you will become.3. When to Contact the Employer
Mail the thank you note the same day you interview, the next day at the latest. Before you leave the interview ask the hiring manager the timeframe for making the hiring decision and how he/she prefers for you to followup. End the note with something like: "I look forward to hearing from you soon".4. Always be Professional
Don't come across too relaxed, write with a professional tone. If using snail mail, hand write a message on high quality stationary.5. Project a Positive Tone
Focus on projecting a positive interview experience, do not talk about anything negative.6. Send A Simple Note
Keep it simple:
Thanks for discussing the challenges facing the next CEO. My background and qualifications are a unique fit. I hope to hear from you soon.7. Frequency
Followup no more than once per week.Connect With Bill on Linkedin
