The Follow Up Email That Gets You the Job

Episode 100 of Interview Prep with Fexingo breaks down the one post-interview habit that separates top candidates from forgettable ones: the follow-up email. Lucas and Luna walk through a real-world example from a Deloitte consulting hire, explaining why most candidates send generic thank-yous and how a single specific detail referenced in the email can tip a close decision. They discuss timing (within 4 hours, not 24), length (three sentences max), and the subtle art of reinforcing one interview point without re-selling. Luna shares a counterexample from her own early-career mistake—sending a 400-word email that made the hiring manager cringe. The episode also covers what to do if you don't hear back, when to follow up again, and why a short note can be more powerful than a longer one. Closing reflection on the asymmetry of effort: the candidate who sends a thoughtful follow-up shows they care about the role without being pushy. No ads.
