Outreach & Follow-Up Message Templates

Eight free situational guides with copy-ready recruiter messages, referral requests, interview follow-ups and alumni introductions. Personalize and send manually.

Choose a guide

• Message a recruiter after applying

  Mention the exact role, your application date and one relevant qualification. Follow the employer’s contact instructions; direct outreach does not replace applying.

• LinkedIn referral request templates

  Ask someone who can judge your work, share the role link and a short explanation of fit, and make it easy to decline. Start with advice rather than requesting an endorsement from a stranger.

• Follow-up email after an interview

  Send one concise status check after the stated timeline. Reference the interview, restate your interest and ask about next steps without demanding a decision.

• Cold message to alumni on LinkedIn

  Mention your genuine school connection and ask about their experience. An informational interview is for learning, not a disguised request for a job.

• Interview thank-you email examples

  Thank the interviewer, reference a specific discussion point and connect it to a real strength. Keep a thank-you separate from a hiring-status request.

• Job application follow-up email

  Follow the posting’s contact rules and hiring timeline. If status checks are welcome, send one polite note; no universal waiting period guarantees a response.

• LinkedIn message to a hiring manager

  Introduce the relevant role, give one genuine example of fit and ask whether more context would help. Do not assume a LinkedIn message bypasses the hiring process.

• Networking message after a layoff

  Name the roles you want, a relevant strength and a specific request for a lead or introduction. Share only the personal details you are comfortable making public.
