Thank You Letter Help
by
ResumeEdge.com - The
Net's Premier Resume Writing and Editing Service
According to a recent survey, less than 20% of
applicants write a thank you note after an interview. Of the recruiters surveyed, 94% said that a thank
you letter would increase the applicant's chances of getting the job, or at least help him/her stay in
the running, provided the applicant is otherwise qualified. Fifteen minutes of your time and a first
class postage stamp are very inexpensive investments in your career!
Thank you letters simply thank the interviewer
for his or her time and reiterate some of the important things you learned about the company in the
interview. Add some key qualifications that you forgot to mention in the interview, or emphasize some
of the more important things you discussed. If the interviewer shared some information that gave you an
insight into the company and its culture, mention how much you appreciated it.
A thank you letter should be short -- three
paragraphs at the most. Don't try for the hard sell. You had your chance in the interview. The thank
you letter just reinforces what you have already said.
