Job Application Follow-Up Email: When and How to Send One
Job application follow-up email guide: when to follow up, how often, subject lines, and copy-paste templates for after applying or after an interview.
Letters & Formats
Ready formats for the letters and emails a job needs — offer, relieving, resignation, leave and more.
Some documents come up at every stage of a job: a leave application while you study, an internship certificate and a bonafide letter, then an offer letter, payslips, a resignation letter and finally relieving and experience letters when you leave. Each has a standard shape that HR teams in India expect, and a missing line — a last working day, a designation, a signature — is often the reason one gets sent back.
Every guide in this section gives you a format to copy, filled samples for common situations, and a note on what each part is for and what to check before you send or sign it. There are also short templates for the emails around a job search — following up on an application and asking for a referral. For the cover letter that goes with an application, see Cover Letters.
