A follow-up phone call to an employer after submitting your application provides a multitude of benefits, from inquiring about the interview timeline to landing an interview itself. This helpful article not only describes these benefits, but also offers a script on exactly what to say when following up, which you can tailor to your own situation. Try writing your script out or creating an outline so you can refer to it during the phone call if need be, but remember not to sound robotic in your delivery. Although we do not recommend that you directly request to speak with a supervisor or request an interview right off the bat, this article still provides useful tools on how to obtain valuable information about the employer and the available position. So make yourself stand out from the rest and start planning your next follow-up phone call now!
