How to follow up after you apply for a job
You will send a polite check-in email about a job you want.
Waiting to hear back is hard. A short, polite email can help. It shows you are keen and kind.
You do not want to sound pushy. You just want a gentle nudge. ChatGPT can find that soft tone for you.
ChatGPT is a free helper you type to. Tell it the job and how long you waited. It writes a warm note.
- Open ChatGPT in your web browser.
- Tell it the job title and when you applied.
- Ask for a short, polite follow-up email.
- Read it. Add the person's name if you have it.
- Send it from your own email.
Write a short, polite follow-up email about a job. I applied for [job title] on [date] and have not heard back. Keep it warm and not pushy.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

One follow-up is enough. Give them a week or two before you write again.
