Follow Up Email After Career Fair Templates: How To Write & Examples

Need to write a follow up email after career fair? Here are 3 simple steps to get started:

1. Gather the information you need to know.

Before you write anything, you need to know who or what you're writing about. The more specific you are, the more personalized you can make your content.

Here's our suggestions for writing a follow up email after career fair:

Recruiter's name: [name of recruiter]
Company name: [name of company]
Conversation topic: [e.g. job description, company culture, etc.]
Next step: [e.g. schedule an interview, send over a resume, etc.]

2. Determine the structure of your output.

The structure of your content is just as important as the content itself. The structure of your content is how you're going to arrange the information in the content to make it easier for the readers to read and understand.

Address the reader
Thank them for their time at the career fair
Remind them of your conversation at the career fair
Explain why you are reaching out to them now
Invite them to take a next step with you (e.g. schedule an interview, send over a resume, etc.)

3. Write the content or use Copy.ai to help you get started. Once you have your structure down, you can start writing the content.

Example:

Hi [name],

I wanted to reach out and remind you of our conversation at the career fair yesterday. I'd love to follow up with you about the [company name] position and see if it's still a good fit for you.

Let me know if you're interested in coming in for an interview. Thanks again for your time!


Example:

Hi [name],

I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to follow up with you about the conversation we had at the career fair. I really enjoyed getting to know you, and I'm so excited that you're considering [company name] as one of your options.

We've been thinking about your needs and how we can be helpful in your search. Is it possible for us to schedule some time for you to come in for an interview? Or maybe you'd like to send over a resume? Either way, let me know how we can help—I'm looking forward to hearing from you!


Example:

Hi [name of the reader],

Great to see you at the career fair! I hope you got a chance to learn more about us and our company culture.

I wanted to reach out now, because I think you'd be a great fit for one of our positions. We're looking for someone who has experience in [skill or experience], and we think you'd be a great fit.

If you're interested, please let me know. If not, no worries—I appreciate your time and hope we can stay in touch!
