How to follow up after applying for a job

Updated 2026-10-30. General information, not a promise of a job.

Add one relevant fact

Wait several business days. Then send a few lines that mention the role and one piece of work that matches a task in the posting.

Do not attach a new resume every time, and do not apologize for following up.

Use a planning tool or read a discussion.
