Other tips from Career Services

Did you attend a recent recruiting event, on-campus interview, or networking event? If you made some good connections but have not yet followed up, here are some ways to keep the momentum going.

• Keep your follow-up emails brief and succinct (greeting, express gratitude, reiterate your skills/experience/value, salutation).
• Include any specific points that you discussed with the recruiter. Review any notes you took that day.
• Check grammar and spelling, as these errors can completely derail your message.
• Be patient but persistent. Don’t call the company the next day if you haven’t heard back, but do maintain contact and follow up again after 10 days.
• Here are a few follow-up email templates

Additionally, make sure to:

• Attend our workshops and other on-campus recruitment opportunities
• Meet with a Career Coach or Peer Career Coach
