Thank You Letter
Thank-you letters are an important part of the job search process, yet many job seekers
don’t bother to send them. However, all employers appreciate such courtesies and the
most successful job candidates often distinguish themselves by attending to such
important details.
Thank you letters have the following characteristics:
Sent within 24 hours of the interview
At least two paragraphs in length, but no longer than three
Addressed to each person who participated in the interview
Addressed correctly, with accurate spelling and job title(s)
Thank you letters are also an excellent opportunity for you to mention something
important you might have forgotten about during the interview.
