How to follow up after you apply
Edwuma Team
One clear note, sent once, is enough. Chasing every other day does not move a queue you cannot see.
After you submit on the employer's site, the process is theirs. Edwuma can show that you clicked apply. It cannot see whether a recruiter opened your CV.
If they gave you an address
Wait about a week, unless they named a closing date that has passed. Send one short email: the role title, the date you applied, and one line on why you fit. Attach the CV again only if they asked for email applications. Do not attach a new version every day.
If they did not
Do not hunt personal addresses from old posts. Use the channel the listing gave you. If there is no channel, spend the time on the next application.
A follow-up is a reminder, not a second application.
Keep a simple tracker: company, title, date applied, date of any reply. When you are choosing between conversations, that list matters more than how many forms you started.
