These “killer” follow-up emails are the answer to what to do if you’ve heard no results from your interview and are left sitting there wondering “if there is still a pulse”.

The author says: “An interview follow up letter can be incredibly powerful. The reason why I suggest the email follow-up is because it makes it easier for the Hiring Manager to reply (either good or bad). In other words, if you are out of the mix, he can easily take you off the hook if he wanted to. No response could still mean there is a pulse and a positive response allows you to reply back and reinforce an interest. This is why a follow up email after interview is so important. Also, it opens a dialog and as long as there is 2 way communication there is a pulse.”

He then goes on to give complete templates, with advice on using each for the following types of emails:

1. Is the Position Still Available Email (Follow up email after interview no response)

2. Request another Interview Email

3. Portfolio for Your Review Included Email

4. Forgot to mention during the interview

The Best Industries For Starting a Business Right Now | Inc.com.

• Translation and Interpretation Services

• Mobile App Design

Sure, iPhones have been around for a while. But with the advent of the iPad, explosive sales of Android phones and an ever-expanding market for mobile apps that work on any Web-enabled phone, there is plenty of fresh territory for programmers, developers, and designers. One tip: Keep location in mind.”

• Home Health Care

“Despite this year’s legislation, health care costs – particularly at hospitals and primary-care providers – are soaring. As the elderly population also grows and demands less expensive, out-of-hospital care, the industry is expected to expand by an average of 4.9 percent through 2014, according to IBISWorld.”

There are about a dozen more, ranging from tea and healthy beverages, exam preparation and tutoring, bakeries and baked goods to water supply and irrigation systems.  Most of these businesses don’t have very high barriers to entry and some are well suited to a private contractor.  So the opportunities are still out there.  Just make up your mind and go for it!
