Afte r On-site interview
Dear Ms. Smith:
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit with you and see your facilities last
W ednesday. Both the interview and the tour made for an informational and exciting day.
I was very impressed to learn that your office has been nationally recognized for its
commitment to abolishing food deserts in the Denver Metro Area. Incidentally, the
process you use to locate food deserts is quite similar to one I have been researching
through an independent study this term. Perhaps I can share my final report with you.
I’v e enclosed a portfolio with my resume, college transcripts, and letters of
recommendation.
Again, thank you for your hospitality during my time in Denver and for all your efforts to
arrange my visit. Having seen your operation, I am all the more enthused about the
career opportunity that the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has
to offer. I look forward to your decision.
Sincerely,
Jan Richardson

First interview, may be on-campus
Dear Ms. Wrig ht:
Thank you so much for your time and for giving me the privilege of having an interview
with you yesterday, October 25
th
, during your recruiting visit to the University of
Northern Colorado. The jobs you informed me about sound both challenging and
rewarding and I look forward to your response c oncer ning an on-site visit.
As mentioned during the interview, I will be graduating in December with an MPH and
an emphasis in Community Health Education. Through my education and experience
I’ve gained an un der standing of the importance of public health education. I have
worked for almost a year in the retail industry in various positions from sales associate
to assistant department manager. I think my education and work experience would
complement Fashion’s management trainee program.
I have enclosed a copy of my term project entitled “Developing new ways of introducing
public health education into K-12 education.” I’ve also included a list of references as
you requested.
Thank you again for the opportunity to be considered by Colorado School of Public
Health. The interview served to reinforce my strong interest in becoming a part of your
team. I can be reached at (303) 555-1111 or by e-mail at boles@unc.edu should you
need additional information.
Sincerely,
Marianne B oles

What to do if you don't hear from the employer
Before your interview ended, your interviewer should have informed you of the organization's
follow-up procedur es from whom (same person who interviewed you, someone else), by
what means (phone, e-mail, etc.), and when you would hear again from the organization. If the
interviewer did not tell you, and you did not ask, use your follow-up / thank-you letter to ask.
If more than a week has passed beyond the date when you were told you would hear
something from the employer (and barring some major event in the news like a merger or
acquisition or other event that would be taking employees' att ention), call or e-mail to politely
inquire about the status of the organization's decision-making process. Someone (or something)
or an unexpected circumstance may be holding up the process. A polite inquiry shows that you
are still interested in the organization and may prompt the employer to get on schedule with a
response. In your inquiry, mention the following: name of the person who interviewed you, time
and place of the interview, position for which you are applying (if known), and ask the status of
your application.
