Follow-Up Email When There Is No Response After an Interview

If the date they promised has passed, follow up once, politely, referencing that date. Ask for an updated timeline rather than a decision — it is easier to answer, so it gets answered.

Common questions

How soon should I send it?

Within 24 hours, while the interviewer still remembers the specifics of your conversation.

Email or printed letter?

Email, almost always. It arrives while the decision is live. A printed letter is a nice supplement for traditional industries, never a replacement.

What if I interviewed with several people?

Send each of them a separate note referencing what they personally asked about. Never send the same text to everyone on a panel.
