In this blog post we will talk about some tips you can use to draft great interview feedback emails and also we will also provide you with a sample email that you can copy for your own use. So let us get started.
Tips to Remember
When requesting interview feedback keep your language professional and do not use any slang terms which could potentially put off interviewers and hiring managers.
Your timing matters and it is better to shoot this email immediately after you have got the result or after a reasonable time frame depending on the type of organization.
Be respectful to the recipient and thank them for considering your request to share constructive feedback on your interview performance and how it will help your future interviews.
Best Practices
Express openness to feedback so that the interviewer can tell you what he really thought of it instead of giving you platitudes that you can not use.
Address the recruiter/hiring manager politely so that you set a friendly tone for the rest of your communication.
Stay positive throughout the email, it will create a good impression and will indicate to the interviewer that you are really interested in their honest feedback.
Provide contact information just in case the interviewer prefers to use other modes of communication or might want to get back to you at his convenience.
