How should I follow up after a second interview?

How to Do a Second Follow Up After a Phone Interview

  • Answer:

    Employers use phone interviews to efficiently screen large pools of potential employees. It's up to the job candidate to follow up after the phone interview. The persistence of a job candidate can be a crucial factor in the hiring decision. Job seekers who confidently and promptly follow up after a phone interview can have an edge over candidates who dally. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Thank-You Letter Send your follow-up thank-you letter within 24 hours of your interview. In your letter, thank your interviewer for her time. Make sure to address your interviewer by her name and title--Ms. Jones, for instance. Do not address your interviewer by her first name unless she has asked you to do so. Include the date and time of your interview, as a reminder for your interviewer. Summarize your qualifications in your letter and include any relevant information not covered in the interview. Ask for an in-person interview and suggest a couple of dates and blocks of time when you'll be available. Proofread your thank-you letter more than once before you send it, and if possible, have another person proofread your letter. Second Follow-Up Call your prospective employer and ask for your interviewer by name. Remind your interviewer who you are and the date of your interview. Thank him again for the interview. Then ask for a face-to-face meeting, stating the dates and times you'll be available. Ask when you may follow up again, if your interviewer says that she is not ready to make an appointment to meet. Be specific. For instance, after learning that Monday is the day a decision will be made about who will be asked for face-to-face interviews, say, “May I call again on Tuesday morning?” Conclude your follow-up call by thanking your interviewer again for his time and stating that you are looking forward to meeting him. Be prepared to repeat this process a third or fourth time. The more competitive the field in which you want to work, the more important it is to be persistent.
