After interview Etiquette-
Hello,
I had a job interview and sent a thank you note to the hiring manager. I have had a few interviews so far and never got a reply back from any of the companies I interviewed for when i sent follow up thank you notes but this guy replied back thanking me for coming for the interview and said he appreciated my follow up email. Now should I email him back? and if yes, to say what? Since I never received any replies from hiring managers, I have no clue what the etiquette is when they do reply, please help! And is it positive when they do reply?Thank you
I recommend you respond to the email asking for an update and what the next steps are. Reiterate your interest in not just the position, but the firm as well.
But I already did that in my previous email which is the one he replied to. Wouldn't that be redundant?
Don't reply to that email. You'll look weird.
Yeah, I would not reply. You send your Thank You and he sends back another usually saying they will make a decision within X amount of time. Wait until that amount of time has passed (week to two weeks usually) then follow up with a phone call to see what your status is.
Thanks guys, that's helpful. Is it a positive sign though when they do reply back? None of the previous hiring managers replied when I sent thank you notes.
Don't read too much into it. Whether people respond back imo has more to do with timing and personal tendencies than anything else.
My (potentially incorrect) opinion is that more often than not, whether or not you get the position is decided long before they see a thank you note. I've written the wrong name in a thank you not and still gotten a second round.
From my experience it doesn't matter.
I've had offers from people after I forgot to send a thank you email after the interview. In the long run they're going to make decisions based on your qualifications & interview performance. Show them you CARE in the interview. After the fact doesn't hold water all too well.
