Don’t Disappear After Your Graduate Job Interview

We are firm believers of not pestering potential graduate recruiters, but there is a simple method you can use to follow up after a graduate job interview, which should be used within a day of your interview.

A simple thank you email can be great for getting yourself noticed and ensuring you are remembered but don’t forget to keep it personalised and short. Use a maximum of three paragraphs, each under 4 sentences. One to thank them and reiterate interest, another to briefly state strengths that ensure your ability to excel in the role and a third to communicate anything missed in the graduate interview.
End by saying you look forward to hearing from them within a certain time scale and proof read to make sure names and punctuality are perfect and you are nothing but positive throughout.

Sending a letter through the post can be a great touch instead of an email and has more chance of being read. Take time over your handwriting and invest in some nice paper for an all out gesture showing prospective employers you value their opinion and have great attention to detail.
