Phone Interview – Thank You Email – How To Follow Up ?
Hi, I am a Latin America lawyer and two weeks ago I had a phone job interview with the HR Director for a position as a legal assistant for the company’s clients in Latin America. We talked about my professional experience, salary, benefits and relocation expectations. Well, my professional experience was praised by the interviewer, my salary expectation was market rate, the benefits were fixed the same for every employer, but because I am at the moment based in South America I was asked about my relocation expectations and I proposed the documentation necessary to take the work permit visa and some help to search an apartment. Next day I sent a thank you email but still had no answer. The position is still avaiable at the company’s site. The question is how should I follow up this job because no deadline was fixed at the interview.

In this situation you have nothing to lose by phoning to follow up.
My gut tells me, they are hoping to find someone that has at least your qualifications but with no visa issue and no relocation (or less expensive) expense.
Call, say your still available and interested, ask what you can do to help them make their decision
Good luck
You might consider emailing to ask when you might expect to hear whether or not you have been selected for the position.
I wish you luck!
Call them back, and tell them you’re checking on the status, since no email reply was ever done. Good luck with the job!
