It is also an opportunity to demonstrate your professionalism through the quality of your writing and the words you use.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>SOME TIPS :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Be specific and concise<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Personalize your email<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Express your appreciation for the time the recruiter and\/or manager gave you<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Demonstrate your willingness to provide further clarification on some of the items discussed, if needed<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Share 2-3 reasons why you are interested in the position, team, organizational values, company culture, etc.)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>WHAT NOT TO DO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u274c Use overly familiar language<\/p>\n\n<p>\u274c Making spelling mistakes in your text<\/p>\n\n<p>\u274c Demonstrate your questioning (this is not the time)<\/p>\n\n<p>\u274c Share the things you didn&#8217;t like about the meeting (talk to your Kenova Recruitment Consultant instead)<\/p>\n\n<p>\u274c Send a text message instead of an email (unless it is to your Kenova Advisor or the employer is texting you directly. In the latter case, be sure to keep it professional)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In conclusion, following up after an interview is still a good practice when done well. Be aware that if this email is poorly designed, it can hurt your application.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">To avoid any fatal errors, <strong>we strongly recommend that you go through your Kenova recruiting expert<\/strong> who will be able to pass on your comments to the potential employer in an appropriate manner. He\/She will know how to make you shine at your true value!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-orange-color has-text-color\">To alleviate this concern, please know that the Kenova team welcomes all your comments with open arms, we appreciate knowing you better and this allows us to advise you better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing a few lines of thanks after an interview is an excellent way to demonstrate&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[323],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-tricks-hr"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Post-interview email, topical or not? | KENOVA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Writing a few lines of thanks after an interview is an excellent way to demonstrate your motivation.
