Interviewing Tip: The Thank You Letter

Posted by Krista at 7:13 pm

Following up after an interview with a thank you letter or thank you email is a must. Without it, the potential employer may think that you are not serious about the job. It also gives you a chance to remind them why you are a great fit for the position. The thank you letter should provide the following:

• Appreciation for the interviewer’s interest in you as a candidate
• Express your interest in the position and company
• Show that you have attention to detail and good manners
• Remind them of your qualifications
• The chance to tell the employer something you forgot to mention in the interview

The thank you letter or email (email is usually fine) should be sent within 24-48 hours after the interview. If you were interviewed by multiple people, you should send a customized thank you to each individual.
