In this tight job market, with countless
candidates vying for the same position, to be called in for
an interview is a success not many jobseekers experience.
To make the most of the after-interview
stage, always send a personalized thank you letter to the hiring
authority. Not only
does this indicate unusual and continued interest in the position,
but it also shows follow-through and a professionalism that
simply can’t be beat.
Make sure that your thank you letter uses
the same heading as your resume and initial cover letter, as
this maintains consistency.
Keep the content brief, mentioning only the highlights
of your meeting with the hiring manager.
This will serve to remind that person of the skills and
qualifications you can bring to the opening.
If there were some matters that you forgot
to mention during the interview, such as your ability to work
extra hours and take on extra responsibilities, a thank you
letter is the perfect way to introduce this.
