As the new year is upon us, job searching can feel overwhelming. With new goals, fresh opportunities, and a competitive market, it’s easy to feel unsure about next steps. One simple action can make all the difference on your journey: thoughtful follow-ups. Following up isn’t just a check-in—it’s a way to stay connected, show initiative, and move closer to a position that truly works best for you.
At Choice1Temps, we often remind applicants that following up is not about being pushy—it’s about showing professionalism, reliability, and genuine interest.
Below are helpful follow-up topics and tips to keep you top of mind with recruiters and hiring teams.
1. Availability Updates
If your availability changes, let us know right away. Whether you’re now open to additional shifts, different hours, or new job types, timely updates help us match you faster.
2. Skills or Experience Additions
Have you gained new experience, completed training, or picked up a new skill since your last conversation with us? Even short-term or hands-on experience matters.
3. Transportation & Reliability Confirmation
Letting us know that you have reliable transportation and can consistently report to work builds trust with both recruiters and clients.
4. Assignment Feedback
If you’ve completed an assignment, sharing feedback—what you enjoyed or what you’re looking for next—helps us place you more accurately in future roles.
5. Location Preferences
If you’re open to commuting farther or prefer work closer to home, keep us informed. Flexibility often opens more opportunities.
6. Short Professional Check-Ins
A brief, polite follow-up goes a long way. Checking in once a week is appropriate and shows continued interest.
7. Schedule Conflicts or Time-Off Notices
Let us know in advance about vacations, appointments, or scheduling conflicts. Clear communication helps us advocate for you.
8. Long-Term Goals
Whether you’re seeking temporary work, temp-to-hire, or a long-term role, sharing your goals allows us to align opportunities with your plans.
Final Tip: Professionalism Always Matters
Prompt responses, respectful communication, and honest updates help build strong relationships.
At Choice1Temps, we’re here to support you from start to finish—your follow-up helps us help you.
