Thank
You Letter Help

According to a recent survey,
less than 20% of applicants write a thank you note after an interview. Of the
recruiters surveyed, 94% said that a thank you letter would increase the
applicant's chances of getting the job, or at least help him/her stay in the
running, provided the applicant is otherwise qualified. Fifteen minutes of your
time and a first class postage stamp are very inexpensive investments in your
career!
Thank you letters simply thank
the interviewer for his or her time and reiterate some of the important things
you learned about the company in the interview. Add some key qualifications
that you forgot to mention in the interview, or emphasize some of the more
important things you discussed. If the interviewer shared some information that
gave you an insight into the company and its culture, mention how much you
appreciated it.
A thank you letter should be
short -- three paragraphs at the most. Don't try for the hard sell. You had
your chance in the interview. The thank you letter just reinforces what you
have already said.
