About Interview Thank You Notes
Sending thank you notes after interviews is an effective interviewing strategy.
- Reinforces your interest in the job
- Shows that you are courteous and professional
- Demonstrates your communication skills
- Helps to make you stand out in the minds of interviewers
- Elevates you above competing candidates who didn't bother to write thank you notes
- Gives you an opportunity to reiterate your good points
- Allows you a second chance to say something important you forgot during your
interview
- Confirms your understanding of topics discussed and helps to avoid later
misunderstandings
Even if they're seldom executed, thank-you notes still are expected in other arenas. A
survey in August by CareerBuilder.com found that nearly 15% of hiring managers would
reject a job candidate who neglected to send a thank-you letter after the interview; 32% said
they would still consider the thankless prospect but that their opinion of him or her would
diminish.
Nearly a quarter (23%) of managers prefer handwritten thank-yous, the survey said; 21%
seek a typed hard copy, and 19% want e-mailed thank-yous followed up with a snail-mailed
letter.
