- A thank-you within 24 hours, short enough to read on a phone.
- One specific detail from the conversation, so it could not have been sent to anyone else.
- Your interest restated in one sentence, linked to one point that matters for the role.
- For a status check: wait until the date they gave has passed, then ask one polite question.
