- Thinking of following up after your job interview, or chasing up for feedback? Don’t. In this video I cover the top 7 reasons I don’t recommend this for candidates.
You might be tempted to send a follow up email after no response, but don’t be tempted beyond a simple thank you email.
After you’ve answered situational interview questions and behavioral interview questions it can be distressing to then be ghosted after interview, but it’s most important to continuously position yourself as an attractive prospect to your potential employer.

7 reasons NOT to follow up after your interview
• Video
Thanks for watching! What do you think, should you chase feedback after an interview?
I agree with all your points, Amri; esp knowing your worth & not chasing companies.
I used to chase for updates, decisions, feedback etc until recently when I realised it’s serves me absolutely no purpose & I wasn’t valuing myself. I did stop this action and so pleased to come across your video emphasising it! 🙌🏾
I agree 100% NO waiting around and NO chasing companies. 'Find somewhere that celebrates you' !
When a company knows your worth, they won't waste time getting back to you. I had an interview recently with a top company. They said it would take 4 weeks to hear back. By the next day they were on the phone to me.
I’m not begging for a job. I don’t want to put myself in that position from the beginning. And I’m not sending thank you notes unless the interviewer is exceptionally warm and friendly.
You make some very valid points here. I've seen the difference between employers that are interested in you and ones that are not.
We've been told that working is like being in a relationship, well what relationship is ever successful when we have to "beg" the other person to be in a relationship with us. Please keep providing us with this valuable information.❤
I honestly think more people should hear this.
I wish I came across this before sending a second email!
You just made me realise my worth! I was just about to send a follow up email looking for a template to follow and I came across this. So Happy I did, I'm not sending the email again.
Same here...was contemplating an email or phone call to ask about the company's decision post-interview, but Ms. Amri's video resonated with me.
Yes, they might see you "desperate" and take advantage of that and it could be even worse.
If a company wants to hire you after the interview, it will let you know about that so you don't have to follow up.
Finally!!! we found the best advice, we have the same thoughts after found this video give me confident. Thank you Amri Celeste.
Companies label themselves as professionals yet they dont even contact you .just goes to show how they treat costomers
When you are introverted plus unemployed for months even years, it could be frustrating because it is harder to show what you are really capable of. However, you have to have dignity and move on if companies reject or ghost you. No one is perfect and if they are looking for the perfect candidate they would never find it. '
It's true that they have the balls in their court, but they don't realize that tomorrow it could be them the ones that are on the other side. So do your best, and try to not let these things undermine you.
100% Agree
Agreed with you. We want to know the feedback from the interviewers so we can improve next time. However, they don't provide the feedback to the candidates or get back to you. It's frustrating !!
Wow, your definitely stating some valid points, I always didn't love this part of the job search when I came across it a few years but understood some of the benefits. I'll definitely be doing further research.
Your video came on the right time! Thanks a lot👏
I have always thought this way, all my life people have given me the opposite advice.
I'm in the waiting period now and I'm just going to look in other positions available.
Your content is amazing Amri! The best interview prep out there on RUclips. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
Such an insightful video! You are sooo full of wisdom, Amri! 🙌🏾
Thank you Jasmine!
Good content! You speak facts and you are very strong in your delivery of information. You have my support. Thank you!
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
I'm glad I came here to get your advice because I was thinking of doing this! Thank you for your videos, you are amazing!
Thank you!
@@amriceleste I finally heard back and had a second interview yesterday! It went well, but you never know.. and they didn't ask the normal generic questions. The job is internal comms. Keep your fingers crossed for me! 🥰
@@binxwinx8434how did it go? 🎉
Another amazing video! Good job Amri and thank you so much 🤗
Thanks so much!
BIG FACTs!
Amri, your information is very helpful. I used to follow up often. Now I wont.
wow.
Wonderful answers.
Thank you!
Excellent video, and I agree to send a thank you note and then leave it. I don't follow up for the sake of my mental health. I must say, though, that I think you are an exception. In my experience of job hunting full-time for three years, I've only every received feedback once. I apply for an average of 7 jobs each day and interview for about 3 a month. I can't afford a coach though I obviously need one with those statistics. I've been using your channel and a few others for over a year and thankfully have moved from being ghosted to being shortlisted to invited for interviews. I've had offers that recruiters have said they will email by COB the next day, or alternatively I've been told I would hear back by x date... and I never hear back from any. (Except the one I mentioned before who responded that I didn't get the job.) Many recruiters online have said that the norm is to just ignore all other candidates and focus on placing the successful candidate. I always felt that this is really rude, and a waste of my time, but most of all it's unprofessional. My point, being, I agree with you Amri. But you truly are the exception in this regards.
Hi! I have been following you and your tips/advice for about 6 months now. You have really helped me improve my interviewing skills over these last 4 months. I have been trying to get hired for a new role at my current company but I was not selected for the position about a month ago, but I re applied for the same position but at different location with a different interviewer. I went through 2 interviews and have not got a final yes or no just yet but, I did hear through the grapevine that I did interview well… HOWEVER, I received a random email from the recruiter yesterday that I have been working with for the past 3 months about the position that I just interviewed for at this other location. In the subject line, it shows the title of the position and states as followed “Hi Bri - I hope you had a nice weekend. Hoping to get you some information this week about the Cross Roads location. Can’t say much but hopefully good news 😊.” Now, I have interviewed for this position 2 other times and did not get any type of update like this ever before. I just didn’t get the position and was notified that I was not selected for the role. This email was unsolicited and I did not email or call asking for an update or any feedback since the interview. My colleagues all seem to think that the HR recruiter would not send this via company email if they do not have plans on selecting me for the role and that the recruiter would not put themselves out there like that on company email because that email can be perceived in many different ways. If it was a phone call that could be different because it could be hearsay, BUT this is an actual email on company email. My question is, do you think I could have possibly landed the job based on this email? Or does this just seem like a general email? Like I said before, I never got an update like this after an interview from before. This interview was 4 weeks ago so I’m sure the recruiter has read all of the notes from the interview by now and just maybe they have made a decision. What are your thoughts?
Hi, I really appreciate the video feedback glad the videos have helped - my honest advice would be to focus on other roles - there could be many interpretations of what that email could mean - but four weeks is a long time. I would recommend re-focusing on somewhere that is excited to get you on board quickly, and gives more timely feedback.
@@amriceleste will do! Thank you!
@@amriceleste I got the job!!!! ❣️❣️❣️
@@user-zs5bs1cg4t Congratulations! Sometimes the interview-to-offer 'delay' depends on the industry and/or the hiring manager/team.
i disagree to some extent. There are certain companies where one really wants to work in, or top companies where people will do whatever to get in, and they know that they are desired too. So I don't think it is always a good idea to play "hard to get".
I have an interview for a software developer role(taking in people with no coding experience and are going to train me up). Would you agree that using staying calm under pressure is a solid strength or should i use a more powerful one like critical thinking/communication? Thank you
A thank-you letter/email does not carry a lot of weight or will reverse the opportunity in your favor if you were a terrible candidate, say there were 2 openings and you ranked 10th or worse, but it won't hurt anyone whether you are the candidate or the hiring manager. Obviously, one email/letter should be enough. Many variables are in play: 1) Those offered the positions might not be longer interested 2) If you interviewed in front of a panel, not necessarily all liked you 3) Information candidates provided was not verifiable 4) Such letter/email shows you are interested and if well written it can even help to fix things you forgot during the interview. Etc. Just a humble opinion from whom always did it and got the job I pursued.
i have stopped doing that...if they are not interested i would not waste a breathe
Seems a bit discouraging…. Doesn’t follow show your drive and passion? Again seems opposite and kinda depressing to be honest
after interview with HR, 2 directors, CFO & CEO, on different occasions, I sent 1st follow up after one week of which CFO told me he will give update in the course of the week of which its the 2nd day of the 2nd week. Do I need to have a 2nd follow up?
Hello Amri, Thanks for the insightful video .I was about to send a follow up message asking for feedback ,I want to ask you a question my situation is different ,they asked me about samples of my pervious work then I sent it one day after the online interview, because I had to delete some of the confidential information from my work samples ,they never replied to this one message, what shall I do ?
Is there any related volunteer work you can do? Often these roles are a little easier to find and help you build up relevant work experience again. You can also focus on your transferable skills, cover this in more detail here: ruclips.net/video/tktO28hH_Mg/видео.html
Hi Amiri, Thank you for this video. It is really Insightful. I had an Interview with a Company on February 12th, 2024. At the end of the Interview , the Interview Panel members said that there will be another round in the Hiring Process. They told me that they will get back to me if they are moving forward with my Candidacy. But they did not get back to me after that . I sent a Follow up and Thank you emails once to the recruiter. Its been almost two months and Hiring Team has not provided feedback about my Interview. Could you please suggest me what can be done?
I would recommend refocusing your efforts on your search, to get more interviews lined up. This company should give you feedback, but unfortunately, some companies don't, so I wouldn't recommend waiting for feedback. Once you've asked once, continue to focus on the next opportunity.
There's a huge amount of controversy around this topic
I won't be working at 83 Maiden Lane thank goodness
I agree but also not having facepages means not having food so 🤷
Thank You emails are totally worthless.......
I agree.
I messed up during the first interview with the assessment. They still called me back for a second interview. I messed up again. I described an accomplishment unrelated to the role. So, I believe I don't need their feedback. Oddly, I shot myself in the foot twice despite liking their culture.
What do you think about acknowledging their decision and suggesting connecting on LinkedIn?
What you've suggested sounds like an excellent next step. Connecting on LinkedIn leaves the door open for networking and future opportunities, so you're on the right track with that approach.
