Episode 6: The Art of the Follow-Up — How to Stay Top of Mind Without Being Pushy

So, you’ve finished the interview … now what? 🤔
This week on The Resume Whisperer, we’re tackling one of the most overlooked (and misunderstood) parts of the job search: how to follow up after an interview — without crossing the line into “too much.”

Whether you’re waiting to hear back, not sure what to write, or trying to decode post-interview silence, this episode walks you through exactly what to do (and what not to do).

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ When to send your thank-you email and what to include in it
✅ How to write a polite follow-up message
✅ What to do if you haven’t heard back (or get ghosted entirely)
✅ Professional ways to close the loop if it’s time to move on
✅ How to stay productive and positive while you wait

🧭 Action Tip

This week, take 10 minutes to create a ready-to-customize thank-you template and a simple spreadsheet to track your interviews and follow-ups.
Then set a reminder to check in once at the appropriate time — no refreshing your inbox every hour required. 😉
