Follow up email after meeting potential employer
Email Subject: Following up on our chat at [ABC]
Hi Rohan,
I hope you're doing great. We met at the [Enter where you met] last week, where we talked about your career as a product manager. I'm currently at Resume Worded working as a business analyst.
I've been figuring out my next career move, and product management seems like a great fit for my experience. Facebook's a dream company for me, and if it's okay with you, I'd love to ask you a few questions about your experience there and if you also think PM is the right fit for me.
Do you have time for a quick chat next week? I can call you on your mobile or send an invite for a video call - whatever is most convenient for you. I'd really appreciate it.
Best,
Timothy
Insight
This is a great template to use to follow up with a potential employer (or a hiring manager of your potential employer) you have met. Reference the conversation you had with them and be open about your ambitions and why you're contacting them.
While you can send an email like this up to a couple of months after you met your potential employer, the sooner you send it, the higher your response rate. Ideally, send this email within a day or two of the last meeting.

Did you know that 75% of professionals make a decision about someone based on their LinkedIn profile?
Networking is a crucial part of building a successful career, but let's be honest - it's not always easy. Especially if your LinkedIn profile isn't working as hard as it could be.
Optimize My Profile
You see, your LinkedIn profile is often the first thing people see when you're trying to make new connections. And if it's not optimized, you could be missing out on valuable networking opportunities without even realizing it.

And the best part? It's completely free to try. So why not take a few minutes to see how you can start building a stronger, more valuable network on LinkedIn? Your future connections (and career opportunities) will thank you.

Email Subject: LinkedIn connection request
Hey Stephanie,
I loved your presentation at the Resume Worded Online Conference!
It was great to learn how you grew Polyhire and scaled it to millions of users in just a year. So impressive - I took so many notes.
I'd love to stay tuned on what you're doing - thought we could stay in touch over LinkedIn?
Thank you!
