The Thank You Note - It's Still Important

 
The Thank You Note - It's Still Important

You are unique ... your interview experience is unique ... and your response should be unique as well. Take notes during your interview and recap important points in your thank you note. You can also mention objections you hope to overcome or new information that perhaps supports your candidacy. Write as if you were in a conversation with the recipient. Be concise and make sure that every word adds value.

The standard suggestion has been to send a thank you note / letter or email directly after the interview, which is fine. However, many candidates find that they get an EVEN BETTER RESPONSE with a simple store bought plain thank you card with their brief remarks inside. A card that comes in a non-business-style envelope stands out from all of the boring business mail and emails that are received each day and shows a more personal touch than a stuffy letter or email.
