A Thank You Letter that Entices the Employer

Note: This letter is a bit lengthy, but it does a good job of summing up the strengths of the interview and enticing the

employer with the idea that hiring this candidate means that more ideas and innovations cannot be far behind.

Ms. Sentra Nessen

Dayton Sumner Memorial Art Museum

203 Harbor Street

Baltimore, MD

Dear Ms. Nessen:

I want to thank you for taking the time to interview me yesterday for the position of assistant director of the Dayton

Sumner Memorial Art Museum. You, Mr. Dawson, and Dr. Acquino exuded warmth, and I know we could all have an

excellent working relationship.

As I further studied the job description for the position, I grew even more confident that I could take the museum to

new heights of success. With the resources I've gathered, I am ready to hit the ground running with grant-writing. The

15 percent bonus for grants brought in is an excellent incentive, and I would devote a significant portion of my time to

this important venture. I also have a number of great ideas for community and media relations and am excited by

your interest in bringing more schoolchildren to the museum.

As I mentioned when we met, I would like to use my fine arts degree and journalism minor to enhance the museum's

identity while at the same time meeting the needs and expectations of the community. I believe I can make a

significant contribution to the fundraising effort, and I am particularly interested in exploring a corporate donor

program.

I am convinced I could bring a new degree of organization to the museum, including sinking my teeth into making the

workspace far less chaotic and far more functional. More importantly, I'd like to get communications on track so that

newsletters and invitations are sent out on a timely basis. I have some ideas for making the newsletter more user-

friendly. I feel it is extremely important to maintain close communication between the board and director, and I am

committed to doing so.

Ms. Nessen, I thank you again for considering me for this position. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

Sincerely,

John Oakley

A Thank You Letter that Aims at Damage Control

Mrs. Walter Mellish

Greenley Corp., Inc.

1010 Madison Avenue

New York, NY

Dear Mrs. Mellish:

Thank you for the time you took to interview me for the seminar leader position.

After our interview, I'm convinced that I have the three ingredients you're looking for in your workshop/seminar

leaders. I know you expressed some concern in our meeting that I have not worked in a personnel department. I want

to stress, however, that I have participated significantly in the hiring process for my sorority and have a solid record of

achievement in my human-resources classes.

As for your requirement for public-speaking experience, my having been leader of new-student orientation groups at

my college for three years, along with outstanding grades in my public-speaking classes, qualify me nicely.

Finally, I have enclosed some writing samples to further demonstrate the third ingredient, my communications skills.

Thank you again, Mrs. Mellish, for this wonderful opportunity to interview for the seminar leader position. I promise

you I won't let you down if you give me the chance to show what I can do. I eagerly await the next step in the process.

Sincerely,

Jane Oakley

A Thank You Letter that Mentions Interview Afterthoughts

Ms. Tess Bonwitt

Razzle Magazine

1010 Madison Avenue

New York, NY

Dear Ms. Bonwit:

I'd like to thank you for the time you spent talking with me about the marketing-research analyst position you have

open at Razzle magazine. I am very excited about this position and convinced that my marketing training equips me

more than adequately for the job.

I meant to mention during the interview that last summer I attended a three-week intensive seminar on SPSS, the

foremost marketing-research software package. I know the job description mentions the ability to use SPSS, and I

wanted to make sure you knew that I am extremely well-versed in the use of this software. Please contact me if you

have any questions about my ability with this program or about any of my other qualifications.

As you know, my work-study position in the institutional research office here at Rutgers provided an excellent

background for marketing- research work.

I look forward to hearing from you soon about the position, and I again thank you for meeting with me.

Sincerely,

John Oakley

A Thank You Letter Following Interviewwith an On-Campus Recruiter

Ms. Lacy Stilwell

Holbrooks, Inc.

100 Fifth Avenue

New York, NY

Dear Ms. Stilwell:

Thanks so much for talking with me today about the position in fashion merchandising at Holbrook's. I was truly

inspired by the energy and dedication to the company that you brought to our interview.

I am positive that I have what it takes to bring the same kind of energy and dedication to your company. As I

mentioned, Holbrook's has been my first choice for fashion since before I was a pre-teen. I bought the suit I wore to

our interview at Holbrook's!

My education has equipped me for this job, and my enthusiasm will ensure my success. My internships with several

local apparel stores have taught me a great deal about meeting the needs of target market segments.

I would like to take the next step in this process and discuss the position further with you at your office in the Long

Beach store. I plan to contact your secretary on Friday to schedule a mutually convenient time to meet.

Again, Ms. Stilwell, I thank you most sincerely for your time, your energy, and the inspiration you gave me to launch

my career at Holbrook's.

Sincerely,

Jane Oakley

I look forward to an opportunity to visit Aerial's Tampa office and speak to you further about the trainee program. I will

contact you next week to arrange an appointment.

Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
