A follow-up
letter sent a few weeks after the initial application is essential
in today’s poor job market.
Hiring managers are seeing more and more applicants for
each position and are generally so swamped that they cannot
respond to all of them.
Nor will they remember most.
To
ensure that your candidacy gets the attention it deserves, use
a follow-up letter to again place yourself in front of the hiring
manager. Not only
will that person take note of your continued interest in the
position, but you will certainly move ahead of those other,
similarly qualified candidates who did not send a follow-up
letter.
To
ensure a professional look for your follow-up letter and to
maintain consistency, use the same heading that was on your
resume and initial cover letter.
Within
the body of the follow-up letter, reiterate your most stellar
qualifications as they relate to this position.
