Writing The Follow-Up Letter

 

Your application and resume landed you an interview, and your interview was successful.  It is two days after the interview, but you have not heard anything from your potential employer yet.  What should you do?  Write a follow-up letter.  A good follow-up letter contains the following:

·        A thank-you comment

·        A statement confirming your interest in the job and your value as an employee, with specific reference to the interview

·        A statement about your willingness to answer further questions

·        Your phone number and times you are available

Example Follow-Up Letter

ASSIGNMENT:  Compose a follow up letter for your simulated interview.  Make sure it is proofread and correct.  Save a copy of your letter and print a copy.
