Follow-up email for a job application: The way to do it.


As we said like two weeks ago, almost 90% of job applications these days are electronic i.e. via email. After you have done a job application by email, there are specific guidelines that should guide you into making a follow up email. This is a subject that may look straight forward but it is not because this is an email that should be crafted very carefully. Remember that this is an email that an employer is not obliged to reply and if they reply consider it a privilege. Some job seekers consider calling in but if you used an email as a method of job application, and then use it to follow up on an application.

You have recently submitted a job application for a position you would love to have. But how do you help your application float to the top of the pile to get an interview? You can do this with a follow-up email after a job application. The follow-up email will place your name in front of the interviewer and help them find your application faster. This may seem far-fetched but if you make an enquiry, it may be seen as an interest in the job more than the other candidates. HR executives may tend to remember your name more than the others. But how do you make it?
