Thank You Notes

A handwritten thank you note is your personalized acknowledgement of the time and effort the recruiting

team has dedicated to your candidacy. If you choose to e-mail an employer a thank you note prior to

sending a handwritten one, be sure the content in both notes is different.

Thank You Notes

If you are concerned about the legibility of your handwriting you can type a note on resume stock paper. If

you are confident in your handwriting use a note card. After each interview, ask for a business card. Once

you have left the organization, take a minute to sit down and make a few notes about the experience. This

will help you customize each thank-you note to each individual interviewer. Many recruiting days include

multiple interviews. You do not want to send a template thank-you note to all. A thank you note gives you

the additional opportunity to reinforce a point from the interview or follow up on a question you were not

able to answer during the interview. A thank you note should be timely and sent within 48 hours of the

interview.

Dear Ms. Jobs,

Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you yesterday. I enjoyed talking with you and

Mr. Troutman about the future of Heartland Candies and my possible future there. The

visit has increased my interest in the marketing position we discussed and assured me

of my ability to provide you with an immediate contribution.

Thanks again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Tommy Trojan
