Heres how to follow up well:Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣赏). And if there are many interviews（面试）, send a thank-you note each time.Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didnt, follow up within a week to strengthen (加强) your interest and politely ask what they expect (预期) their timeline for a decision to be.Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers (寻找者) are too worried about the result. It doesnt look worried to express (表达) your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline. Dont be nervous if you dont hear from them at once. The hiring (雇佣的) process often takes longer than a candidate would like, maybe the decision makers are out of town. If youre past the time they indicated (表明) you would hear something, this isnt necessarily cause for nervousness. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain youre very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.
