In the tough world of looking for a job, every talk and meeting is key. From the first time you send in your resume to the last time you talk to them, each moment lets you show how good you are. A step people don’t think of much is the email you send after you talk on the phone. This easy but strong note can stick in the minds of those who might hire you. Let’s look at how to write the best email after a talk that makes you seem different from others.
Start your email with a real “thank you” for the chat. Tell them you’re glad they spent time to talk about the work, and say again how much you want the job. A quick “Thank you for letting me talk about [the job]” starts things off well.
Talk about things you both talked about
Show you listened in the phone talk by bringing up certain things you both talked about. Talk about your best skills or past work that go well with what the job needs. This not just shows that you’re right for the work but also that you paid attention. Like, you could say, “I liked talking about how my work with [some special skill or job] fits with this job’s needs.”
Tell them again how much you want the work and like the company. Make it clear to the person who talked to you that you want to keep going in their hiring steps. Showing your love for the work can stick in the boss’s head. Saying “I am very ready to add to [company’s name] and would love to see how what I can do helps your team,” can share how much you care.
Cover any to-dos
If you both agreed to do things after the phone talk, say this in your email. This shows you take action and look at the little things. Whether it’s to give more info, send papers they asked for, or plan another talk, doing it fast looks good for you.
End your email well to leave a good feeling. Thank the person again and say you can’t wait to see what’s next. A nice end like “Thank you again for your time. I hope to hear from you soon.” keeps the way open for more talks and is very polite.
Read over and make better
Before you send it off, read your email to find any mistakes. A well-done message without errors shows you care about the small parts and you’re a pro. Maybe ask someone you trust to look at your mail for more thoughts.
In the race to get a job, every single thing you do is important. The email after the phone talk is a chance to leave a mark on people who may hire you. By saying thanks, talking about specific things, showing you’re still interested, doing any to-dos, and ending in a pro way, you can write an email that makes you stand out. Don’t forget, a good email might help you get to the next step where they hire people.
