Tips for writing a job-search interview

thank-you letter

1._________________

You should try to send out your thank-you letters within 24 hours of your interview---- no longer than about two or three days afterward. If you have a hard time writing letters and don't want to write any, fight that urge and force yourself to write something. Studies continue to show that the vast majority of job-seekers do not send thank-you letters. As a result, by doing so, you will stand out from other applicants. The speed is of great importance, so you can either email your thank-you letters or drop them off the next day.

2.________________

Write your thank-you note from the heart. Everyone values authentic communications, so rather than using a boring thank-you letter from the Internet, use your own words and feelings to write your letter. Find a way to express your genuine feelings of appreciation and connection with the interviewer. One word of caution: Don’t give fake praise and appreciation; keep it honest and simple.

3.________________

One of the main goals of an employment interview is to determine if there is a good fit between the interviewee (you, the job-seeker) and the employer. Thus, one of your key goals in your thank-you letter should be to clearly express your strong fit with the organization. At the same time, it’s also good to mention a few of your key selling points ------ points that exactly match the requirements of the position you are seeking. Even a thank-you letter is a chance to market yourself.

4._________________

Job interviews are stressful situations and even with excellent preparation, we can sometimes forget to mention something that may be a key selling point. If that happened to you, no worries as you can add the point in your thank-you letter. As you are summarizing your fit with the position and employer, you simply add the additional point you forgot to make in the interview.

5.__________________

One of the worst things you can do is to write an amazing thank-you letter, but realize after you sent it that it had a misspelling, or poor construction. Especially check and double-check the spelling of the name of the employer. Write a draft of your letter and come back to it later to edit it. Read it aloud to check how it flows. Have someone else read it for errors. Review your final version carefully before sending it.
