As your mother may have told you, always remember to say thank you. After your interview, you have another opportunity to sell yourself to the employer, and the follow-up thank you letter can be the icing on the cake that sets you apart from other candidates. In the letter, you can thank the interviewer(s) for the time spent with you, re-state your interest in and enthusiasm for the job, and put your name in front of the decision-makers again. Additionally, you can present relevant information that you may have forgotten to mention during the meeting, or information that occurred to you after learning details about the position. Acceptable formats include handwritten or typed letters and, in some situations, an email message.
SAMPLE
January 10, 2007 Ms. Debbie Bucher Dear Ms. Bucher: Thank you for the opportunity to interview with you and the members of your staff today for the position of Marketing Assistant. I was very impressed with the growth of PPT Electric, Inc., and the amount of support your organization provides for our community. After the interview, I felt extremely excited about working for PPT Electric. In addition to my relevant work experience, I am very knowledgeable of the new computer software you are implementing. I’m confident I could “hit the ground running,” and I believe I could help your staff transition to using the new application. I’m sure that I would fit in well with the members of the Marketing Department. Once again, I appreciate the opportunity to interview. If you need any additional information, please contact me at 555-5088. I look forward to the next steps of the selection process. Sincerely, Mary Jones Mary Jones
