The Virtual Employer Showcase was a great success! Thank you for attending. Maybe you were able to see every employer you pre-selected. Maybe you didn’t. There’s one essential thing you can do in either circumstance: write the employer.
THANK THE EMPLOYERS YOU MET WITH
Within the next two days, make sure you express your gratitude to the employers you spoke with. How? One essential way: WRITE THANK YOUS. Your thank you email can be just a few sentences long:
- Thank them for their time.
- Mention something memorable you discussed.
- Include a sentence about the future and your plans. “I will be applying to your firm after speaking with you,” etc.
REACH OUT TO EMPLOYERS YOU WERE UNABLE TO MEET
If you didn’t get to see one of your top employers, that’s okay. You can still write them.
- Express that you wanted to see them, but were unable to (do not mention the employers you prioritized over them).
- Mention why you are interested in them.
- Ask for a five-minute informational meeting.
- Thank them for their time.
