thank you letter after interview.. Hows this?

[z0mb13]

Is it better to mail it or to email it?

look at a couple post down, is it any good?

 

[Actaeon]

Mail it.

Everybody and there brother e-mails everything. A real letter makes it look like you took time and effort into preparing it (even if its only a few more minutes to do so).

 

[Borracho]

I emailed mine for the job I am working now

 

[AgentEL]

I would say email as soon as you can while they still remember you.

 

[sirspotticus]

email is probably fine. you'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't even thank their interviewers.

That's what my GF has done on her last 2 interviews (all with the same company for the same position). Hopefully, she will be getting a call about her 4th one in the next week or so.

If you say that you learned a lot, it may imply that you didn't know anything before the interview. Maybe you should say that you gained some sort of insight into the industry from talking to this individual. And for God's sake, grammar and spell check.

[StageLeft]

Change "I hope" to "I believe that I would be a great match" or something like that. I always email, sot hat you're fresh in their mind.

You start every sentence but the last with the same word: "I". It makes your letter sound like the focus is you instead of the interviewer. Reword it.

Edit because I can't spell sentence.

Hows this one folks?

Here is another thing that needs rewording. When you break that sentence up it is stating this: I really appreciate your time and your willingness to interview me. I really appreciate your time and your willingness to ask my questions.

That makes no sense. To me it sounds like you are thanking him for asking questions for you. Are you thanking him for allowing you to ask questions, or for him answering your questions? Make that a little clearer. You probably shoudn't thank him for letting you ask the questions (they are supposed to do that, right?) but instead for his good answers to them.

what I mean is to ANSWER my question and not ask..

 

[propellerhead]

In general, too plain.

Use this letter to repeat and reassert your strengths. Say stuff like, "I hope I get the opportunity to prove my 133t skills". Or, "I hope you find my sooper dooper xray eyes and washboard abs a perfect match for the xxx position."

Unless you are sure he/she remembers you, consider putting the time and date of the interview. Introduce yourself again, by name. Like, "I am xxx. I met with you on xxx." but more formal. Restate your contact number and email address.

Remember, you are still selling yourself.

 

[AgentEL]

I would like to thank you for your time meeting me today.

That sentence sounds awkward. Consider rewording. "Thank you for taking the time to meet today."

[Buttzilla]

wow, this is great! i just came from an interview myself. i think i'm just going to email.

 

[rh71]

email is fine - the quicker the better I think.

I was so grateful that I even mailed the HR person (who had nothing to do with the interview process except contacting me) a thank-you card.

 

[minendo]

Send it via Snail mail. Not everyone checks their email often. I always send them via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. It might cost $3.85, but at least I know for a fact that it has been delivered and in a timely manner.

:beer: yeah, it's a far trek, but I lived on southside so it wasn't too bad. Plus, the career center is a great resource (although I didn't get a job through them haha)

 

[fr]

I would handwrite it and mail it.

 

[poopaskoopa]

Looks fine. Interestingly enough, I've gone both snail and email and I've never gotten a job for which I followed up with a thank you note. As far as I'm concered, it's a surefire way to not get the job.
