Hello, remember me? Y' all still in business? I will give you the exact templates to use to follow up. This channel is the career and job search coach you never had. So subscribe to this channel and hit the bell to do something good for your career when a new video comes out every Thursday. So if you're questioning whether or not you should follow up a second time, because heck, they didn't respond to you the first time you followed up, the answer is yes, absolutely. Follow up again. As long as they haven't rejected you yet, follow up at least three times in every five business days. Persistence gets jobs. It is normal to have to follow up several times and still get the job or the interview. Because real talk, there's a lot more going on in the company than focusing on your candidate journey.

Well, I'll tell you and then stay to the end because I will give you a tool that will make this effortless. So when you're following up for the second time, I want you to get into this mindset. They're busy. They adore me. They will appreciate my reminder. Being in this headspace will help you to show confidence and friendliness in your correspondence. Because the worst way to do this is say, I expected to hear back Friday, but now it's Tuesday. Are you still interested? No. No. Yikes. Just no tact there. Instead I would reply to the email with something like checking in. Has the team had a chance to determine next steps? Or Another example is I hope you're having a good week. I'm following up to see if there's an update for my candidacy for the X role. All the best. This may sound similar to your original follow up email and that's fine. There's not much to this. Just keep sending friendly pings and when you sound nice, you come off as eager and confident candidate but not a bitter and desperate one. That's what we're avoiding. I have the best thing for you.
