**Subject:** Follow-up – Marketing Coordinator interview (June 10th)
Dear Ms. Rodriguez,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to kindly follow up on the status of my application for the Marketing Coordinator position, following our interview on June 10th.
During our conversation, you mentioned that your team hoped to make a decision within approximately one week. I understand that hiring processes often take longer than anticipated due to unforeseen circumstances, and I do not wish to be a nuisance. However, as it has now been two weeks, I wanted to politely inquire whether there has been any update on the timeline.
I want to reiterate my strong interest in this role. After our interview, I felt even more excited about the possibility of joining your marketing team. The projects you discussed – particularly the upcoming digital campaign for the Q3 product launch – align perfectly with my experience and career goals. I remain confident that my background in social media strategy and content creation would allow me to contribute meaningfully to your team.
If a decision has not yet been made, I completely understand. I would simply appreciate any insight you can offer regarding the expected timeline. If a decision has been made and I am no longer being considered, I would be grateful for that information as well so that I can plan my next steps accordingly.
Thank you again for the opportunity to interview with your team. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to support my application.
Sincerely,
Sarah Chen
