Tired of Getting Ghosted?
Feb 17, 2025
WARNING: Your follow up might suck.
That’s why it’s getting ignored.
You sent in a job application…
Now what?
You follow up. Smart move.
The problem: most follow-up sounds the same—and it’s all about the applicant.
❌ Don’t be that person. ❌
Here are 10 overused, boring phrases that make me want to eat a sad desk lunch:
🚫 I just wanted to check in…
🚫 I wanted to follow up on my application…
🚫 I’m passionate about [fill in the blank]…
🚫 I believe I’m the best candidate…
🚫 I know I’d be great for you…
🚫 I’m excited to hear back…
🚫 I’d love to know about next steps…
🚫 I’m reaching out to see if you have any feedback…
🚫 I’m very interested in this role…
🚫 I look forward to hearing from you…
Please. Stop. Saying. This.
Instead: make it about them. Make them feel seen, heard, and understood.
