One of the most common questions I am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up (跟進(jìn)) after a job interview. Following up in some way is necessary. Yes, you can get a job without it, but if you’re having a competition with other top candidates (候選人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn’t. Here’s how to follow up well：

Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣賞). And if there are many interviews, send a thank-you note each time.

Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to express your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.

Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers (求職者) are too worried about the result. It doesn’t look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline.

Don’t be nervous if you don’t hear from them at once. The hiring process often takes longer than you would like, maybe the man who makes the decision is out of town. If you’re past the time they decided, you would hear something, so you needn’t be nervous. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.
