Presumably you're simply looking for an update on the recruitment process, so get to the point and don't waste time and words on unnecessary small talk. Be clear about the purpose of your message. This isn't the time for humorous self-deprecation. Regardless of the tone of your interview, keep your follow-up professional and courteous. Wait a few days before sending that all-important follow-up. There's a good chance your interviewer is speaking to other candidates, so there's little to be gained from contacting them on the day. Choose the right time to send a follow-up email If you come across as pushy, sloppy or too informal then you could damage your chances of landing the job. However, there are several potential pitfalls to avoid when sending a follow-up email after the interview.

After a job interview, it's only natural to want an update on the hiring process, particularly if you feel it went well.
