Dear Amy,

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to interview for the marketing analyst position. I enjoyed meeting with you yesterday and hearing more about the great things the company is doing. I also want to share that I have just finished 2 semesters in marketing and have recently started learning more about digital marketing.

Extra Tips To Ask If You Are Under Consideration

1. Whenever you write these follow-up emails, keep them short, sweet, and straight to the point.
2. Always be courteous and write the email in a professional manner.
3. Never appear desperate. If you show desperation for the job, you lose your ability to negotiate.
4. Be careful not to come across as overly demanding for an answer. I know it can be very irritating to wait for a response email, but you need to be respectful.
5. Wait a few days. Give the interviewer a good 2 or 3 days to respond to your email. In most cases, you will probably get a response the same or next day, but be prepared to wait.
6. Interviewing is a patience game and waiting sucks, but you must be patient and wait.

This can cause anxiety and make you wonder, “Am I still under consideration for the job?” The best way to find out is by sending the recruiter a short email.
