5 Foolproof Follow-up Tips | |||
| 1. | Handwrite your follow-up note. Emails are nice, but old-fashioned snail mail – finding a pen, buying a stamp, driving to the post office – shows initiative. | |||
| 2. | Be specific. Cite responsibilities or opportunities discussed during your meeting, so that you can reiterate how your skills are best able to meet them. | |||
| 3. | Be upbeat. Mentioning how “very excited” you are about the prospect of employment or working with someone may be blatant kissing up, but, let’s face it, we all fall for it. | |||
| 4. | Add a personal touch. Referring to something personal discussed, such as your mutual love of golf, can strengthen your impression. | |||
| 5. | Send your note immediately. Keep note cards and stamped envelopes on hand – in your purse or in your car – so that you can mail your follow-up note the same day as your meeting. | |||
