Follow-up
It’s important to follow up with potential employers to avoid losing momentum and to keep yourself at the front of their minds for future opportunities.
- Send them an email thanking them for their time, including some follow-up questions about any opportunities you discussed.
- Give them a call to ask more about their organisation and how you could be a good fit. Make sure to prepare some talking points in advance.
- Connect with them on LinkedIn to get a sense of the organisation’s culture.
Remember to do your research and tailor your approach to each employer – don’t copy and paste the same email to every organisation! To avoid this, refer to something you spoke to them about at the event, ask questions about their organisation or enquire about the roles they are offering.
