So, it has been awhile since you had your job interview. Are they still thinking of you? Are things still in your favor? Should you just sit still and wait? Well, yes and no. You do not want to come across as desperate for sure. Calling the company every other day is not the way to go. The first thing you should do is send a job interview thank you letter. In the letter you need to express your interest in the position and how you want to work in the role.
In order to be memorable, state two or three things that came up in the interview. If the hiring manager shared some personal facts and you had a good conversation, you should share that in the letter. Also, if some “hot buttons” came up in the interview process, be sure to cover those. Hot buttons are those critical peices of the jobs that hiring managers really want the person in the role to do. Clarify to the hiring manager how you are qualified and how you can ease the pain of the position. Many times things get left undone when someone has left the role vacant for a period of weeks. You convincing the hiring manager that you can catch things up and make everything better can bode well for you.
That being said, you still want to do a job interview follow up. The best way to do this is to not wear out one particular method. In other words, you need to take turns with the different methods. Start with an email after the interview. follow up a few days letter with a hand written letter. Then after a few days, go for a phone call. If you find that the process is still dragging out then decide to repeat the process all over again.
