Post-interview follow-up note
The day after an interview, when "thanks for your time" is not enough.
Write my follow-up note after this interview. Under 150 words, sent within a day. It should do three things: 1. Reference one specific thing from the conversation, so it is obviously not a template. 2. Add something of value: a better answer to a question I fumbled, a link or reference I mentioned, or a short thought on a problem they raised. Pick whichever my notes actually support. 3. Restate interest in one plain sentence, with no desperation and no over-selling. No bullet points, no re-listing my qualifications, no "as I mentioned in my CV". If I noted a question I answered badly, draft the two-sentence correction, keeping it brief enough not to look anxious. My notes from the interview:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Interviews. Preparing answers, questions and stories before the call, and the note you send after it.
