Send Follow-Ups on All Outstanding Applications
Step by Step
Step by Step
Pull your follow-up list from Task 1.
Send a brief follow-up to each one Template: "Hi [Name], I wanted to follow up on my application for the [Job Title] role. I remain very interested in this opportunity and would love to connect if the timing is right. Please let me know if there is anything additional I can provide. Thank you for your time."
Log each follow-up in your tracker with the date sent.
Mark any opportunities where this would be your third contact as closed. Do not reach out more than twice to the same person.
Tips Keep all follow-ups brief, warm, and positive. For career changers a follow-up that briefly reiterates one specific transferable skill or recent development in your transition can be more effective than a generic check-in. Keep it to one sentence if you add anything at all.
