How Do You Write An Effective Thank You Note For A Job Interview?
Your mother may have taught you to send “thank you” notes to be polite. But the truth is, when you send a thank you note after an interview, you are doing much more. This is your chance to stand out from the pack. Write your note with these goals in mind: briefly show them that you understand the direction the company is heading, and that you see yourself as part of that effort. Length and timing. Some recruiters say one page is about right for a thank you note. If you make it longer, you’ll waste their time. Be sure to send it within three days of the interview, while you are still fresh in their memories. Keep it professional. The interview may have seemed casual, but hiring is not a casual matter to any businessperson. Show your prospective employer that you know business etiquette.
