Writing a Thank You Letter: An Email Employers Rarely Receive After a Job Interview

Writing a thank you email after a job interview is a must. In fact, some employers think less of those interviewees who fail to follow up promptly. Plan to send a thank you email as soon as possible after your interview. In addition, thanking the person you met reinforces the fact that you really want the job.

1. View your Thank You Letter as a sales letter; restate why you want the job, what your qualifications are and how you are planning to make a significant contribution to the company.

2. Follow up with any information the employer may have asked you to provide after the interview.

3. Remember to Proofread; check spelling, grammar, typos, etc. If in doubt about the correct names, spellings or titles of your interviewers, call the office to double-check. Your efforts will be worth it!
