follow up letter
After the Interview
The actions you take following your interview can be as important as what you did to get the interview. After your interview with a potential employer, it is customary to send a follow-up, thank you letter. The letter should be prompt (within 2 business days of the interview) and its intent is to express appreciation and thanks for the interview.
The letter should do the following:
- Show appreciation for the employer’s interest in you.
- Reiterate your interest in the position and in the organization.
- Remind the employer about your qualifications for the position. If you thought of something you forgot to mention in the interview, mention it in your follow up/ thank you letter
- Demonstrate that you have good manners and know to write a thank-you letter.
- Follow up with any information the employer may have asked you to provide after the interview.
There is some debate on the form the letter should take. Many experts believe a hard copy letter is non-negotiable. Others find a hand written note or email appropriate. I would suggest you research the organization and make a judgment call based on the position you are applying for.
Write a follow up letter to send to the person who interviewed you for the position you applied (Address the letter to your instructor.) Be sure it is grammatically correct and sends a message of professionalism
