How to Write a Thank You Letter |

You MUST write a thank you letter or note after a job interview. Let me say that again, you MUST write a thank you letter. You may have a great interview but if you don't properly follow up you can quickly lose a lot of points with the interviewer and ultimately lose the position you interviewed for.
As a former Hiring Manager I have actually been in the position where I was torn between two candidates for the same opportunity. Both had great experience on their resumes, impeccable references, and nailed the interview. Guess who I hired??? The candidate that sent me the thank you letter. That is an absolutely true story and the same situation has occurred multiple times during my career.
Plan on sending out that thank you letter with in 24 hours. An email is acceptable. I recommend an old fashioned letter in the mail, it gives a personal touch that may help differentiate you from the other candidates interviewing for the position and also sending thank you letters. Remember to be direct and to the point. Always type your thank you letter. |

(The name of the person you interviewed

Thank you again for the opportunity to interview for the sales position. I appreciated your hospitality and enjoyed meeting you and members of your staff.
The interview convinced me of how compatible my background, interest, and skills are with the goals of ABC Products Incorporated.

I am confident my work for you will result in increased profits within the first two years.

I look forward to seeing you again.
