Follow-up email when you have not heard back after an interview

When to send: One or two days after the timeline they gave, or about a week if none.

Subject: Checking in on the [Role] role

Hi [Name],

I wanted to check in on the [Role] role. I am still interested and happy to answer any other questions.

Thanks for your time,

Tips

• One check-in, then one more a week later at most.
• Keep applying elsewhere while you wait.

Dayfive counts the days for each application and has the right note ready. Check your follow-up dates.
