Weekly Tip #42: Even in a World of Digital Shorthand, Thank-You Notes Still Impress
It is highly probable that your interviewer has talked to 10 or 20 or even more candidates for the position. You can stand out and remind them of your talent and enthusiasm by sending a brief, personalized thank-you note. Be succinct – about three sentences is perfect. As you craft your message touch on these important points:
- Thank them for their time.
- Express the top reason you are right for the job (what is their most important need).
- Personalize with a brief reference about the interviewer (did they mention a hobby, a pet, a recent vacation, etc.)
Sign off with a reiteration of your sincere appreciation for their time and anticipation of further communication. For more tips and tools to optimize your job search, visit us at our website.
