Tips On Writing A Thank Note


Thank them for the opportunity.There was something about your resume and cover letter that resulted in a callback. In your note be genuine, authentic, and grateful.

2.      Thank everyone involved.These days, interviewing in front of a panel is normal. So, if you interview with several people, it makes a strong impression when you send a note to each participant personally. Even send it to the non-management staff person who participated. You never know who may influence and how much in the decision making.

3.      Send a card or a letter, but, not an e-mail. Show that you have gone out of your way to thank the parties involved. For them to take a card and put it on their desk continues to leave an impression that person, and sometimes a smile.

4.      In the content, thank them for what you learned in the interview. Be sure that you customize each thank  you to each person that interviewed you, and what you learned from that individual. 

5.      Same rules apply to your thank you note as well as your resume: Perfect spelling and grammar,and all names spelled perfectly. Even if you need to call the office to get the correct spelling, take this very seriously. Start extending the co-worker courtesy before you are actually a co-worker. Don’t forget the human resource manager that interviewed you first. They often have input into the hiring decision too!

6.      Restate your contact information.Make it very easy for others to contact you. It makes a better impression that they don’t have to search for your application to get your phone number (s).    

7.      Double check the mailing address.Double check the website, and the business card you obtained. You want your thank you card or note to be received in a timely fashion,especially if you want it to have impact your chances.

Address any and all concerns (if any) expressed in the meeting. Great time to ensure and re-iterate your abilities and to sell yourself.
