5-Line Follow-Up Template Every Nigerian Job Seeker Needs
Many candidates lose traction by never following up or sending a desperate “pls any update?” message. Use this simple approach: wait 3–5 working days after applying or 24–48 hours after an interview. Keep your message short: mention the role and date, add one value line, and close politely. Remind them of a key proof point—years of experience, a relevant certification or result. Avoid begging, long stories or unsolicited attachments. Template example: Hello, I’m following up on my application/interview for the [role] position submitted on [date]. I remain very interested and believe my experience in [skill/result] would let me contribute quickly. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. Thank you. Need a faster, tailored CV draft or a sharper follow-up? Reply with your job title and years of experience (no private info) and I’ll help you refine your message.
