When it comes to follow-up emails, I think they fall into one of two distinct groups: Checking in because you’re desperately hoping for a response, or circling back because you desperately need a response.
If you’ve ever job hunted before, you’re likely familiar with that first scenario. You’ve probably innocently popped back into the hiring manager’s inbox a few times with the faint hope that you’ll finally hear something back about next steps in the hiring process. Yes, that radio silence can be disheartening.
