1. Useful suggestions

Writing a thank you note after an employment interview is a must!

Remember to proofread: check spelling, grammar, typos, etc.

1. Send out your thank you letters as soon as possible (no later than a week) after your interview.

2. Keep your audience in mind - address the issues and concerns that were mentioned during the interview.

3. View the thank you as a follow-up "sales" letter and can restate why you want the job.

4. Use the thank you letter to discuss anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask. 


5. Thank everyone who helps you with your job search. 

6. Even if you do not want the job, write a thank you note respectfully withdrawing your application.



2. An example of a thank-you letter

Dear Ms. Wright:

I enjoyed interviewing with you during your recruiting visit to Virginia Tech on October 25. The management trainee program you outlined sounds both challenging and rewarding and I look forward to your decision concerning an on-site visit.

As mentioned during the interview, I will be graduating in December with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising. Through my education and experience I’ve gained many skills, as well as an understanding of retailing concepts and dealing with the general public. I have worked seven years in the retail industry in various positions from Salesclerk to Assistant Department Manager. I think my education and work experience would complement Fashion’s management trainee program.

I have enclosed a copy of my college transcript and a list of references that you requested.

Thank you again for the opportunity to interview with Fashion Department Store. The interview served to reinforce my strong interest in becoming a part of your management team. I can be reached at (540) 555-1111 or by email at boles@vt.edu should you need additional information.

Sincerely,
