KEY WORDS AND PHRASES FOR FOLLOW UPS

1. INDICATE - appreciation for the interview.

2. COMMUNICATE - continued interest in the position.

3. STATE - a feeling that you and the job are a match.

If possible, find a way to continue to keep in contact with the interviewer - again to keep your name before him/her.

● Remember, further questions are a chance to not only keep in contact, but also to be sure they have all the information they need about you.

● Further contact is also an opportunity to ask when they might make a decision and/or to find out how interested they really are in you.

● If you failed to communicate a special skill, what you have to offer or anything of importance, it could be mentioned in a follow up.
