After an interview, it is ususally customary to send a "Thank
You" note to the person (s) who interviewed you. Below are some
tips for writing the note.
| Type It--Send the letter as if it were a
business letter, because it is. |
| Use Good Paper--Use good-quality paper and envelopes,
at least 20# weight. |
| Don't Use A First Name--If the person you have interviewed
with has said, "Please, call me ____" then you may begin
your "thank you" note "Dear _____". Otherwise,
it should begin, "Dear Mr./Ms.," with a colon. |
| Begin with a "Thank You"--Don't extend the
note longer than it should be as you work up to a "Thank
you". Thank the interviewer for their time from the very
start. |
|
Make It Short--Your "Thank You" note should
be quick and to the point. It should include:
- A return address and date
- An inside address
- A salutation
- An initial "Thank you" for the interview
- A comment that sells you once again
- A personal remark relating back to the interview
- An indication that you are eager to hear back from the interviewer
- Another thank you
- A "Sincerely" or "Yours truly"
- Your signature
