How to Follow Up After an Interview When You Haven't Heard Back

"Did I get the job?" is how your follow-up gets left on read. Instead:
1. Wait until the date they gave you has passed (no date? about a week)
2. Use a subject line that's easy to spot
3. Thank them and mention one thing you actually talked about
4. Say you're still interested and ask about the timeline, not the job
Still nothing a week later? Send one short final check-in, then let it go.
Example:
Subject: Designer interview — checking in
Hi Jordan,
Thanks again for meeting with me Tuesday.
I loved hearing about the app redesign.
I'm still very interested in the role.
Is there an updated timeline?
Best,
Alex
