Following Up
Yes, you do have to write a thank-you letter. Keep it brief and original. It should be written (and sent) within 24 to 48 hours of the interview. If the employer has interviewed any more than three people, chances are the interviews all run together in her mind. You need to set yourself apart and confirm that you are indeed, interested in the position. Above all, make sure there are no typos in the letter and that you have all names spelled correctly. You should send one to each person you interviewed. You can send an e-mail if you feel that the firm is casual enough to accept one. Otherwise, get out that stationary and start typing. Don¡t send a cutesy card. It¡s not appropriate.
The thank-you letter is generally three short paragraphs. In it, you want to tell the interviewer:
- When you interviewed and how much you appreciated meeting him or her.
- How your skills are related to the position described to you.
- You are interested in the position and how you can be reached if he or she has any further questions or need for information.
