How to Write a Great Interview Follow-Up Email. Here are seven essential parts of every great follow up message. 1. A Brief Subject Line. Four to seven words should be long enough to express what you need to. Good subject lines would vary, depending on the type of follow up. Thank you follow-up email after the initial interview: Email Subject: Thank you + follow up on [Position] interview. Hi [Name], Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me about the [position] at [Company Name] today. I really enjoyed learning about [current project or initiative] and how [something specific you talked about in the interview]. Subject Line: Follow Up After [Position] Interview: [Your Name] Dear [Name], Thank you so much for discussing the [position] role at [Company] on [date]. I really enjoyed learning more about your plans for [point brought up in the interview]. After talking to you, I feel like this role would be a perfect fit for me. 1. Begin with a strong subject line Good subject lines are concise and convey appreciation for your interviewer's time. Here are some optimal interview follow-up email example subject lines: Thanks so much for your time! It was wonderful speaking with you! Don't: Make generic statements. This is your last chance to place yourself as a top hiring candidate. So, avoid writing a follow-up email that only sums up the same closing sentiments you used in the interview.

The latter is more polite, but the former is more direct and to the point. You could also include the job title in the follow-up email subject line. Be polite but direct: Thank them for their time in the interview. Explain that you're following up on your interview. Remember to be specific about the job, mentioning the job title and interview date. Restate your interest in the position and say you're keen to hear about the next steps. 4MOM.
