Sending A Thank You Note After The Interview

Sending a thank you note, either email or letter, after the interview can be the key to landing the job.  The thank you note allows you to better enhance your interactions you had with the interviewer and also displays your professionalism and interest in the job.

The thank you note is only effective if it is delivered in time to impact the hiring managers decision.  For that reason, the interviewer(s) must receive your thank you note within 24 hours after the job interview.

The most effective method is sending a thank you note via email.  Usually before you begin an interview, you will get a copy of the interview’s busniess card, and his or her email address will most likely be on the card.  Do not send the thank you note as an attachment, instead, write the thank you note in the body of the email.  Most people avoid opening attachments, so your thank you note may not get read.

If you don’t readily have access to a computer, you can hand write a letter and drop it off in person.  Be sure to put your letter in an envelop and address it to the interviewer(s).  You will most likely end up giving the letter to the receptionist, so be polite and ask if he or she can pass the letter along in a timely manner.
