You finally land an interview with the employer you have been pursuing. The interview goes well, but there are several others being interviewed for that same position. What do you do now?
The most important thing you can do to set you apart from those other applicants is the Follow-up Letter. When an employer is looking through all the resumes of the applicants, your follow up letter will reinforce your dedication to filling the position.
Here are a few tips to writing a successful Follow-up Letter.
• Thank them for their time
• Remind them of what you bring to the table
This letter really means a lot to the employer. The fact that a good majority does not even bother to write a Follow-up Letter will make you stand apart from the other applicants. With this economy, we need to do whatever we possibly can to enforce that we will be a valuable asset to their business. The Follow-up Letter is a great tool to obtaining employment.

I enjoyed how you set up a relatable scenario at the beginning of your post to establish familiarity between you and the audience. I think this post could have been a little more about how to write a follow-up letter, because it looks like most of your post was devoted to what a follow up letter is. I like how you chose a certain kind of letter to base your blog post on, instead of trying to give more broad tips for writing all kinds of letters.
ReplyDeleteI also liked how you described the specific situation for writing follow-up letters for the introduction to the topic. Since you specified the context well, it is easy to understand how the follow-up letters work and why it is important to write them.
