After sending out your carefully crafted application, the waiting game begins. However, you don't have to just wait. Following up on your nursing job application through email can show your enthusiasm and commitment, setting you apart from other candidates. Here's a guide on how to do this effectively – and read until the very end to learn how to do this easily and time effectively with FREE AI tools!
Why Follow Up?
First, let's address why following up is crucial. According to a survey, 51% of hirers view applicants more positively if they follow up after their interviews. While this statistic specifically mentions interviews, the principle also applies to the application process. Following up shows that you are proactive and genuinely interested in the position.
Following up can also significantly improve your chances of landing an interview. According to a recent study, candidates who send follow-up emails are considerably more likely to receive interview invitations and job offers than those who don't. This follow-up interaction can be the nudge needed to move your application from the pile to the shortlist.
When to Follow Up
Timing is key. You don't want to appear impatient, but you don't want your application to fall through the cracks. Generally, it's advisable to wait about a week after the application deadline or after you've submitted your application before sending a follow-up email. If there was no specified deadline, waiting ten to fourteen days is a safe bet.
How to Follow Up on a Nursing Job Application via Email
A well-crafted follow-up email is concise, professional, and polite. Here's a breakdown of what your email should include:
Subject Line: Keep it clear and straightforward. Example: "Follow-Up on Nursing Job Application – [Your Name]"
Greeting: Address the recipient by name if possible. Avoid generic salutations like "To whom it may concern."
Introduction: Briefly reintroduce yourself and mention the position you applied for.
Purpose of Email: Clearly state that you are following up on your application status.
Restate Your Interest and Qualifications: Reiterate your enthusiasm for the role and briefly highlight why you're a strong candidate.
Closing: Thank the recipient for their time and consideration. Provide your contact information and express your willingness to provide further information or discuss your application.
The Follow-Up Etiquette
Maintaining a professional tone is vital. Avoid sounding pushy or desperate. Before hitting send, it's also important to proofread your email for spelling or grammatical errors. A polished email reflects your attention to detail and professionalism.
