THANK YOU LETTERS

If time is of the essence, send your follow-up letter via email, with your name and "thank you" in the subject line of the message, or reference the interview date and time. Express and emphasize your enthusiasm for the job but remain professional. You should forward your thank you letter shortly after the interview.  This is your chance before the selections are made to tell the employer that you believe you are a good fit for the position with their organization.

Rule of thumb:

Be specific when mentioning the job – include the job title & date you interviewed,

Tell them any information they can provide would be appreciated, and that you’re looking forward to hearing back from them

Finish by saying “thank you,” and then signing off with your first and last name

Keep it short, to-the-point, and well-spaced (2-3 sentences per paragraph)

Run spell-check and proofread everything before sending your follow up email. Don’t risk having a mistake in your email.
