Follow up after an interview

Service Alert: The Career Centre is moving to the Dahdaleh building! During the transition, in-person services will be impacted. 1-on-1 Appointments with Career Counsellors and Career Educators will only be available virtually from July 28 – August 15, 2025. Bookings can be made on Experience York. We look forward to welcoming you to our new space.

Even though the interview is over, there are still steps you can take to leave a lasting positive impression. Here are a few follow-up tips to ensure you stay on top of your game: 

  • Send a Thank You Email: Send a personalized email to each interviewer shortly after the interview. If you don’t recall all the names, contact reception for help. 
  • Consider Sending a Thank You Card: Adding a personal touch by mailing a thank you card can help leave a lasting impression. 
  • Follow Up: If you haven’t heard back in a reasonable time, politely ask about the hiring timeline and reaffirm your interest. 
  • Be Gracious If Rejected: Thank the interviewer for the opportunity and express ongoing interest in the company. 
  • Ask for Feedback: If not selected, request feedback. While optional, many interviewers are willing to provide helpful tips for future interviews.
