The Thank You Note

Writing a thank you letter after a job interview is a must! In fact, some employers think less of those interviewees who fail to follow-up promptly.

I have had several job candidates who have reported back that the thank you note pushed them over the top and they got the job over other candidates with similar or even better qualifications. A thank you note should consist of a sincere thank you, expressing thanks for the time they took to interview you. If they took you on a tour of the business express thanks for that and how impressed you were with their operation.

You will want to reinforce why you would be the best choice for the position. For example if they are looking for someone with computer experience, customer service skills, and the ability to work with little supervision, then you would state how you fill those needs best.

Keep it short; managers today are time challenged and want to get to the point without reading a long explanation of why you are the best. Follow this link to read more about Thank You Notes.
