Writing Thank You Letters

Friday July 18, 2008
Thank You Note The candidates for employment that make the best impression are the ones who take the time to say thank you after an interview. It doesn't take much time to send a quick thank you letter, note, or email. In addition to being polite, a thank you letter is a good way to reiterate your interest in the job and to remind the hiring manager of why you would be an asset to the company.

Thank you letters are important to employers, as well. About.com's Human Resources Guide, Susan Heathfield, shares information on what hiring managers should try to find in the thank you letters they receive.

It's important to say thank you after a job interview and after a second interview as well. It's also important to thank everyone you interviewed with and everyone who assisted with your job search. Here's information on thank you letters including who you should thank and the best way to thank them.

If you're not sure what to write, review a sample thank you letter or two to get some ideas and suggestions. And, if you have a thank you letter you're proud of and you'd like to share it with our site visitors, here's how to submit your letter for consideration.
