A "follow-up" document can be an important "dealmaker/dealbreaker" document following an interview.
It can be a document requested by an interviewer, such as a sample of your work. Or it can
be a piece you initiate because you feel it could be relevant or helpful having come out of
an interview. One reason might be to supplement an answer that you feel was not compelling
enough regarding a key responsibility of the job being interviewed for. For instance, if your
experiences in prior work were shaped one way because the organization had a certain way of
doing things, and those seemed to be not the way the interviewer would value most in the new role,
a follow-up document to the interviewer going into more depth as to how you would carry out a
certain role within the new organization, might be appropriate and strategically helpful.
Such a follow-up, if done appropriately, would also show initiative to the interviewer, and you can
carefully construct the message in a way you think is most compelling.
A "sample" document can be brought to an interview for some jobs or sent later on.
