Once you have completed your interview you will want to follow up the interview with a thank you letter or email. Today, email is the most common way to follow up your financial modeling interview.
First, make sure you send a thank you note or email to the interviewer within 48 hours or 2 business days. Remember, Monday is a crazy day for most financial modeling professionals so, if you interview on Friday, aim for a Tuesday email.
Include in your thank you the key points from the interview. Be sure to thank him for his time and for giving you the opportunity to interview. Highlight your important skills and qualifications and close with something professional and positive such as “I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you again for your time.”
Sending a follow up email keeps you and your qualifications in front of those making the hiring decisions. It also shows your professionalism. Don’t down play the importance of the follow up; it could make or break your chance of getting the job.
