The One Big Interviewing Mistake That's on the Rise
This headline indicates more and more people are making the same mistake - forgetting to follow up later that day or the next day with a quick email.
I’m not sure if you can read the article in case you are not a LinkedIn member yet, I’ve therefore clipped some of the highlights here:
If I DON'T get a Thank You Email, here's what happens:
Ÿ I assume you don't want the job
Ÿ I think you're disorganized and forgot about following up
Ÿ There is a much higher shot I'll forget about you
Jessica even suggests a sample of a good thank you email. See below.

Headline: Thank You – Business Insider Interview
Hi Jessica
I wanted to thank you for meeting with me yesterday. Learning more about the position and seeing the newsroom in action solidified my interest in Business Insider. I think it's a place where I could really hit the ground running, build up excellent clips on the market and ultimately transition to a full reporter. If you have any other questions for me, or need me to complete editing/writing tests, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again and I'm hopeful that soon I'll be on the Business Insider team.
Cheers
Think about it in the employer’s perspective. It’s true. Unless you don’t like the job, do remember to write a good thank you email. A short and sweet one of course.
Follow up work is required in almost any kind of job. Do take the effort to demonstrate to your employer that you are good at it. In fact, it won’t take too much effort in writing a thank you note, will it? Although Jessica’s thank you letter is reporter focused, it is a really good sample. Can you turn it into one for a banking role which you’ve recently interviewed?
