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 for standard applications: "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."
Template for returnship programs: "Hi [Name], I wanted to follow up on my application to [Program Name] submitted on [date]. I am very interested in this opportunity and wanted to confirm my application was received and ask whether there is any additional information 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 professional. For returnship programs specifically following up is often more important than for standard applications since these programs are typically run by small teams managing high volumes of applicants.
