Initiating damage control. What, if anything, went wrong in the interview? Did you sense any

negative reactions from the interviewer(s) about anything you said or about your qualifications?

Sample paragraph initiating damage control: After our interview, I’m convinced that I offer the three

ingredients you’re looking for in your workshop/seminar leaders. I know you expressed some concern in

our meeting that I have not worked in an HR department. I want to stress, however, that I have participated

significantly in the hiring process in my current job and offer a solid record of achievement during HR

training classes.

Transmitting additional materials. What additional materials, if any, did the employer ask for?

Examples include transcripts, writing samples, and references. Or, what materials could you

send on your own initiative that would bolster your candidacy? Example: Your action plan for the

first 90 days on the job.

Sample paragraph accompanying additional materials: I’ve attached the list of references and writing

samples you asked for. I’m confident that both the samples and my references will confirm the skills I spoke

of during our meeting. My writing demonstrates an excellent grasp of the English language, and my

references will attest to my attention to detail and organizational skills.

Restating your enthusiasm for the job. What did you learn about the employer and the job

that especially excited you?

Sample paragraph enthusiasm for the job: I cannot tell you how excited and enthusiastic I am about the

possibility of parlaying my admissions experience into a full-time position with my alma mater after

graduation. I truly enjoyed talking with you and hearting about your plans for your tour of duty as dean of

student life. I was impressed with your ideas, especially since you have developed them so early into your

tenure.
