· What is the hiring manager's timeline for making a decision?
· Whom should you follow up with, when should you do so, and how?
· If you had an initial phone-screen interview, an email will suffice.
· If you interviewed face-to-face at a more traditional organization, consider sending a thank you card by mail in addition to an email. "Not only will it catch their attention, but it will keep your candidacy top-of-mind, especially since the card will arrive a few days after your initial email," Augustine says.
· If you're interviewing with a high-tech company, only send an email, since sending a note by mail may make you look like a culture misfit.
· Where are you in the hiring process?
· How do you see me stacking up against the other candidates?
· Can you think of any reason why you would be reluctant to hire me versus one of the other candidates?
