Thank You Letter (also called a Follow-up Letter)
Thank You: Two important words! Send a thank you letter to each person who interviewed you.
A Thank You Letter:
• Makes a good impression and helps make you stand out in the mind of the interviewer.
• Shows that you are courteous and professional.
• Gives you a chance to restate your good points.
• Lets you say something important you forgot to state during the interview.
Writing a Thank You Letter:
• Thank you letters may be typed on 8 1/2” X 11” paper or handwritten on a note card.
• Be sincere - most people can sense when you aren’t being honest.
• Include details from the interview.
• Address your letter to the person who interviewed you, and not to the company or business.
• Write clearly and check for mistakes; remember that spelling and grammar are important.
• Keep the letter short (no more than 3 paragraphs), and don’t stress over writing it.
• Close the thank you letter by restating your interest in the job.
• Write and deliver the thank you letter as soon as possible (within 24 hours, but no more than
two days after the interview).
• Mailing is the most common method of delivery, but you may also hand-deliver your thank you
letter (be sure to put your letter in an envelope and clearly address it to the person or persons
who interviewed you.)
• Thank you letters may be emailed under limited circumstances (Thank You Letter – More
Information on next page).
