Thank you letters are a great way to bolster candidate credentials subtle and show respect and courtesy to an employer after they have invited them for interview. A well written letter of thanks can improve your chances of ensuring that there is a job for you! Here are some tips for preparing thank you letters for all coming important interviews.
Well Structured
Remember that your letter will let your potential employer with a final impression of you. Make sure you take the time to properly structure, ensuring that contains the address of employers in the top left of the page and its address for correspondence in the opposite direction to the right. Remember to put a date on the letter that the employer knows that it was written after the interview. Address the letter to the specific person who interviewed you that is the way to ensure that it will reach the right person. Be sure to sign the letter as, Yours sincerely, because they have little relation to the person concerned. Yours should be used only where the person knows he is writing in some detail.
Make sure your letter is spell checked before sending it and ask a friend or family member to read and complete it before submitting to check that makes sense and has no obvious mistakes.
Type your letter
Handwritten letters can be suitable for personal issues between friends, but to write your letter is more professional and appropriate, if the communication is with the organization. Take time to print it on good quality paper from the printer so that it looks very presentable.
Concise
Keep the letter to one A4 page and keep what you say succinct. Do not waffle.
Back to insist on its core competencies
Remember that whilst this is a thank you letter it is also an opportunity to reaffirm your key skills briefly and leave the interviewer with a lasting impression of your abilities. Speaking at no more than a paragraph on the value you think you can add to the company based on your basic skills.
For example
''I just wanted to take this opportunity to indicate how close I feel that my project management, organizational skills and time management would have turned your business operations.''
Thank you for the opportunity to interview
Take a paragraph to thank those who interviewed for the opportunity you gained to meet you and say how impressed you were by the company and the way they were treated with you. This will leave a potential employer feel positive about you that you have taken the time to express their gratitude. In fact, only a small percentage of the respondents have time to write a letter of thanks.
Writing a thank you letter after the interview must be made within 48 hours, more time and opportunity to make a good impression may have happened. Remember that a letter of thanks will be the final impression a potential employer has of you, so take your time, think carefully about what is included in it and make it as presentable as possible.
