5 Rules for Effectively Following Up When You Need a Response #gethired #interviewtips

"After I got your email, you shot straight to the top of the list." What was that email? So, you just nailed your interview. But so did the person before you, and the one after you. How do you make yourself unforgettable? ⭐️ Send a follow-up email ⭐️ I’ve used this strategy before, and the response above is what you can expect. Think of the interview as a mutual discovery call, so treat it like one. This will showcase your business acumen and give them a glimpse of how it will be to work with you. ➡️ Thank them for their time. ➡️ Highlight something you found particularly intriguing from the conversation. ➡️ Confirm your understanding and eagerness for the "next steps." BONUS: Wrap up your email with a P.S. that adds value. For example: P.S. Here’s a cold call script I’ve crafted specifically for this role. or P.S. Here’s a list of targeted accounts I have established relationships with that I’d leverage from Day 1. Follow these steps, and I guarantee you’ll land in the top 1% of applicants.

What we think will happen if we follow up: "Ugh this rando is emailing me AGAIN." "They must be desperate, what a loser." "I'm gonna ignore them and talk about them with all my friends." What actually happens: "Oh whoops I totally forgot to email them back, didn't I." "Gosh I'm the worst." "I'll reply right now so I don't forget again." Whether it's for: 👉 Job applications 👉 Informational interviews 👉 Potential client leads 👉 Your friend who's "bad at email" 👉 Anything else Following up ALWAYS generates a higher response rate than not. And the awkwardness we tend to feel about following up exists almost entirely in our own minds. Most people are genuinely open to helping, they're just busy and the gentle reminder is super helpful! Every 5 business days for 2 or 3 reminders is a pretty good cadence and rule of thumb for most situations. Don't let your inner voice talk you out of sending that follow up email. That one more nudge could be the only thing standing between you and a life-changing connection.

Sending a follow-up is annoying. That's at least what many think when they contemplate sending one after an interview, a request for an informational chat, or a message to a customer. The truth is that most people aren't intentionally ignoring you. They're just busy. They read your message on the way to a meeting and forgot to respond. Not sending a follow-up is costing you opportunities. So the best thing you can do is to send a one. What follow-up have you been sitting on that you can send today? #networking #jobsearch #careeradvice #followup

It blows my mind that sending follow up/ thank you emails post-interview isn't second nature. I remember pre-recruitment (a far younger, less haggard version of Josh) knowing it was an absolute necessity. It doesn't need to be war & peace: 1. Say thank you 2. Express interest 3. If you want to go above and beyond, summarize something interesting on reflection 4. Ask/ confirm next steps

Cold Emails are not just for Sales! They are introductory emails that you send to someone you do not know to create a connection for business or networking opportunities. They can be used for a variety of situations, such as: >>When you want to email your dream company >>When you want to use your network to be introduced to someone >>When you want to expand your network >>When you want to set up an informational interview >>When you need to email someone you don't know or have a connection to >>When you want to say thank you after an interview >>When you want to follow up after an unanswered cold email >>When you let a recruiter know you applied for the job So what do you say? Send that cold email today and you might just a step away from getting what you want. 😎 #coldemailmarkeing #emaildeliverability #coldemails

Are you a candidate currently interviewing and wondering how you can stand out from the crowd? It’s quite simple, yet something I’m seeing less and less these days. The follow up email ✨ A lot of candidates I speak with are unsure about sending a follow up email after an interview, but I can tell you - as someone who is currently hiring for my team, it makes such a difference! A follow up email is a quick and easy way to demonstrate: ✨Your genuine interest in the role ✨Your ability to communicate ✨How you manage your clients ✨Your appreciation of other people’s time ✨An opportunity to reconfirm what you’re looking for ✨Your tone of voice and personal brand When I see follow up emails come through, either from my candidates to my clients or to myself after an interview, I’m always very impressed. So, if you’re wondering whether or not to send that follow up - this is your sign! The market is competitive, so it’s the little things we can do to stand out from the crowd 💫

Are you on a #jobsearch and interviewing? I'm sure you've all heard of STAR or SPAR or whatever as a framework for organizing your answers. But if you can: 1. Do your homework about the company ahead of time, and 2. Ask a few critical questions right up front to get some info about pain points: What can you do with that? Building on SPAR, I propose SPARTACUS. https://lnkd.in/dhSeAgEj Situation Problem Action Response Transferrable Skill / Knowledge Actions you'd take Customized answers to the info you got earlier US - as in phrasing your answer as though you're already on the job Bob McIntosh
