In sintesi

Interview follow-up is the thank-you message sent within 24 hours after interview. Mastery takes 1-2 weeks of template creation + practice. You earn 5-10% advantage by following up (most candidates don't) + writing a message that resonates. A good follow-up converts '50/50' decision to hire. It's rare because people don't know it matters; many skip it entirely.

Cos'è Interview Follow-up Etiquette

Interview follow-up is a brief email sent to the interviewer(s) within 24 hours of your interview. You thank them, reference specific things you discussed, reiterate interest in the role, and ask any final questions. It's a simple gesture that 70% of candidates skip. Doing it puts you in the top 30% automatically. A thoughtful follow-up can convert a lukewarm "maybe" to a "let's hire them."

❓ Domande frequenti

How soon should I follow up after an interview?
Within 24 hours is ideal (while fresh in their memory). Max 48 hours. After 48 hours, feels late. Send it the same day if possible (evening of interview).
Should I follow up via email or LinkedIn?
Email is preferred (more formal, reaches inbox). LinkedIn is acceptable if you don't have email. Don't do both (feels like double-dipping). Use email if you have it.
What if the interviewer said they'll follow up with me?
Still follow up! You initiating shows enthusiasm. Their follow-up is about hiring decision; yours is about reinforcing interest. Both can happen.
How long should a follow-up email be?
Short. 3-5 sentences. Thank them, mention 1-2 specific things you discussed, reiterate interest. Long emails feel desperate. Concise = confident.
What if I made a mistake in the interview? Should I mention it?
Only if critical (wrong fact about role/company, incorrect experience claim). Acknowledge: 'I mentioned X; I should clarify: it was Y.' Don't apologize excessively or dwell on it.
Is it okay to ask for feedback in the follow-up email?
Only if rejected. If still in running, don't ask. Once rejected, asking 'How could I have done better?' is respectful and shows growth mindset.
