In this tight job market, with countless candidates
vying for the same position, to be called in for an interview is a success not
many jobseekers experience.
To make the most of the after-interview stage, always
send a personalized thank you letter to the hiring authority.
Not only does this indicate unusual and continued interest in the
position, but it also shows follow-through and a professionalism that simply
can’t be beat.
Make sure that your thank you letter uses the same
heading as your resume and initial cover letter, as this maintains
consistency. Keep the content
brief, mentioning only the highlights of your meeting with the hiring manager.
This will serve to remind that person of the skills and qualifications
you can bring to the opening.
If there were some matters that you forgot to mention
during the interview, such as your ability to work extra hours and take on
extra responsibilities, a thank you letter is the perfect way to introduce
this.
