Interviews can give you cold feet. The prospect of landing with a customer, client, or job seems exciting, but the interview itself is a roller coaster ride.
Then there's the uncertainty of the result as well. In the middle of this turmoil, it would be great to send a follow-up email expressing gratitude and asking for feedback.
According to a study, almost 91% of employers like to receive follow-up emails, but only 43% of the interviewees send them. So, it's not just a suggestion; you should actively do it after every interview you sit for.
Here we present a sample follow-up template you can use (with some customization, of course). Also, we have discussed why this template works, rated it based on different parameters and added a few tips for writing interview follow-up emails.
Subject: {name}—follow up

I'm following up to know if you have any questions or feedback I can address.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I am expecting to hear from you.
Best,
{sender name}

Interview follow-up emails serve two purposes–standing out from the crowd and showing professionalism. If you are sitting for an interview, it would be best to send a follow-up email within 24 hours of your interview. However, send the email only during working hours.
You should email each of them individually. It shows that you are professional and eager to work with them.
