Polite (or Impolite) Perseverance
“Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.
—Bill Bradley
One of the most
delicate parts of Netiquette for job seekers is determining when and how often to
follow up to an initial email or interview. This is easy when a process has been
defined. It is the best Netiquette to follow the procedures outlined in an application,
the response you get at the end of an interview, or when an offer of employment
is extended. To assist in this process, review the following matrix. Good Netiquette
follows the principle that it is better to be a little bit early in following
up than to be a little bit late.
