How to Write a Follow-Up Email for a Job Application

You have recently submitted a job application for a position you would love to have. But how do you help your application float to the top of the pile to get an interview? You can do this with a follow-up email after a job application. The follow-up email will place your name in front of the interviewer and help them find your application faster.

1
Address the follow-up email to a specific person. This might be the head of human resources or the recruiter who posted the ad you answered.
2
Introduce yourself to the person using your full name. Tell the person when you sent in your application and how you sent it to the company.
3
Tell the interviewer that you would like to follow up on the status of your application and mention the specific title of the position.
4
End the follow-up email telling to job interviewer that you look forward to hearing from her concerning the position. Give time frames and a number where you can be contacted to set up an interview.
