Your Job Application Status

Follow Up After Submitting Your Application

Once you've finished submitting your job application, it's important to follow up with the employer. Here are some tips for sending a job application status inquiry:

• **Be clear and concise.** Let the employer know who you are, what job you applied for, and when you submitted your application.
• **Be professional.** Use polite language and avoid being pushy.
• **Be directed.** Address your email or letter to a specific person, if possible.
• **Follow the employer's instructions.** If the employer has provided instructions on how to follow up, be sure to follow them.
