How do you follow up on a interview schedule?
Here are a few pointers:
- Address the person you are emailing by their first name.
- Mention the job title of the role you’re following up about and the date you interviewed to refresh their memory.
- Confirm that you’re still interested in the position and that you are eager to hear about next steps.
- Finally, ask for an update.

What happens if you don’t schedule an interview?
