Finance and banking follow-up
Following up on a Bank of America application
A short, polite note five business days after you apply. Here is a template you can send.
Dayfive is not affiliated with Bank of America and has no inside knowledge of how it hires. This is general advice for finance and banking employers.
When to send
Five business days after you apply. One more note around day ten if nobody replies, then a short closure note and let it rest. Check your dates.
Who to send it to
Write to the recruiter or campus contact for the role. If you cannot find a person, reply on the thread from your application confirmation.
