Thank You Letter - More Information
Handwriting a Thank You Letter
A thank you letter can be handwritten on a simple note card. Some employers like handwritten thank
you notes because they see a sample of your handwriting. If your interview was a fairly informal
process and/or you felt comfortable with your interviewer, a handwritten note may be fine.
Emailing a Thank You Letter
When is an email thank you letter appropriate? When an employer tells you they prefer to
communicate using email or if you have applied for a job, scheduled an interview, or been interviewed
for a job using email. You may send an email thank you letter as soon as you complete the interview.
Be sure to follow-up by mailing or personally delivering a typed or handwritten thank you letter.
One
advantage to sending an email thank you letter is that it will remind the interviewer of your name soon
after the interview.
Before sending an email thank you letter, print it out and proofread it for spelling, punctuation, and
grammar mistakes. Also, never use ALL CAPITAL letters or acronyms such as “ASAP.” Always write
the words out, as in, “I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.”
If you write an email late in the day or anytime when you are tired, do not send it. Wait until the next
morning when you are rested, and do a final review prior to hitting the “send” button.
Remember, a thank you letter should be limited to three short paragraphs (no longer than one page).
Don’t send anything via email that you would not print out on personal letterhead and send via regular
mail.
Lastly, if you are not certain an employer is email friendly, use traditional mail or hand deliver your
thank you letter.
Group Thank You Letters
What if you were interviewed by several people? Are individual thank you letters appropriate or
should you write a "group" letter? Take the extra time and send an individual thank you letter to each
person who interviewed you.
Lunch or Dinner Interview Thank You Letters
When dining and interviewing, be sure to thank each person you spend time with. Thank them for the
meal and for taking the time to discuss the position and the company with you. Follow-up with a
thank you letter.
