Questions and answers

Questions about following up

What does it mean to follow up a job application?Show

Following up a job application means contacting the employer after you have sent it, with a short email or a call. You show you are still interested, and you often find out how far they have come.

When should I follow up my application?Show

Søknadsbasen sets the due date to 5 days after you sent the application. If the ad has an application deadline, it may be better to wait until after it.

What do I write when I follow up?Show

Keep it short: which job you applied for, that you are still interested, and ask if they know when they will be in touch. Three or four sentences are enough.

How to plan your job search
Is the follow-up free?Show

Remaining and the follow-up are part of Pro, which costs NOK 79 a month. New accounts get 7 days of Pro free, without a card. Saved jobs with the deadline are free with an account.

What happens to the tasks if I am rejected?Show

When you move the application to rejected or say no, the open tasks for that application are closed, so they don't stay on your list.
