FAQ
Should I include my availability for follow-up questions in the acceptance email?
Only if the interview is several days away. For example, ‘I’d be happy to clarify any logistics before our call on [date]’ keeps it professional without overcommitting. If the interview is soon, focus on confirming the link or location instead.
What’s the best way to address a recruiter I don’t know well?
Use their first name if it’s in the invitation (e.g., ‘Dear Sarah’), or ‘Dear [Recruiter’s Name]’ if you’re unsure. If no name is given, ‘Dear Hiring Team’ works for a warm but neutral tone. Avoid overly casual greetings like ‘Hey!’
How can I sound enthusiastic without coming across as overly eager?
Phrases like ‘I’m really looking forward to discussing [role/team] with you’ strike the right balance. Avoid generic praise—mention something specific from the job description or company values to show genuine interest without overdoing it.
