A follow-up message can remind a hiring manager about why you're the perfect person for the job. Just don't overdo it.

“When someone does send a follow-up, it tells me they are really interested, and it can also be a way to highlight their strengths, add on information,” Dilber said. “I had one candidate send me a blog post they’d written on a topic that came up in our conversation as an example, and that can help establish their expertise.

Woody said emailing a week after an explicit deadline about an application status is acceptable, but she advised against sending multiple follow-up nudges because it can make you seem “impatient and overly persistent.” “I tend to find that companies stay on top of their top candidates, so if communication is falling short, it often means they are more focused on others,” Dilber said. “That said, there may have been some turnover or other changes impacting your communication, and if done professionally and politely, it doesn’t hurt.”
