Thank-you Letters for Job Interviews

Following a job interview, it is always important to send a thank-you letter or email. Based on

your particular situation, you may need to send other follow-up correspondence, including a letter

accepting or refusing a job, or a request for further salary negotiations. All such letters may follow

the same basic formatting. Advice specific to the content of interview thank-you letters is listed

below.

Format

Along the left hand margin, enter the following information:

• your names and contact information

• the date

• the name of the contact person and his/her contact information

• “Dear X:”

Introduction

Thank the employer for granting you the interview, and indicate the fact that you enjoyed

meeting him/her. Be sure to restate the name of the position that you were interviewing for.

Body

Reconfirm your interest in the job and add any information that you may have left out of the

interview. Try to be as specific as possible. For instance, you may indicate how some new

information from the interview helped you better understand the position (i.e. Learning “X”

during the interview further assured you that the job is a good fit for you because [state reason]).

Or, you may choose to include information about yourself that you had intended to communicate,

but didn’t have time to. Finally, you might also choose to elaborate on one of your responses to an

interview question, given that something additional occurred to you after you left the interview.

Conclusion

Repeat your appreciation for the interview and indicate your willingness to communicate with the

employer again (i.e., as for a follow-up interview, salary discussion, etc.)
