The Thank You Note

The final step of the interview process is sending off a thank you note to anyone you interviewed with. Thank you notes are also appropriate to send after informational interviews, networking events, and career fairs. In the note, reinforce your interest in the position and highlight a positive takeaway from the interview or clarify something that did not go as well as planned.

Keep the following in mind when writing your thank you note:

  • Keep it under one page.
  • It may be handwritten, typed or sent by e-mail, depending on the culture of the organization. In some cases, it may be appropriate to send a short e-mail starting with something like, “Although a more formal thank you is on its way…” and sending a longer hard-copy thank you card. This way, if decisions are being made immediately, you have expressed your gratitude in a timely manner, while adding the polished touch of a hard-copy letter, something tactile that an employer might add to your application file.
  • You may write to all the people with whom you interviewed or identify the decision-maker and write to them. Either way, in the letter, you should thank everyone with whom you interviewed.
