| 1. Keep it simple no more than one page. Most
human resource personal don't have the time or
energy to review long drawn out letters. |
| 2. You are not writing an award winning
novel. Avoid hyperbole and exaggerations,
experienced interviewers can see through such
tactics. |
| 3. Give a positive impression by correcting
typos and
grammatical errors. |
| 4. Leave the recipient with the rightful
impression that you were pleased with the time,
energy and consideration he or she gave you.
Customize the note to what was said, shown and
discussed. |
| 5. Send it in a timely manner and in a
method appropriate to the recipient. The most
effective method is a hand written note, that is
readable, neat and appropriate. If you really
want this particular job take the additional
effort to impress everyone involved. |
Thank You Note: a letter
expressing an appreciation for a job interview. Good
manners and appreciation will always payoff in the
long run. Someday you might have to interact with
the HR person again and you want to always leave a
good impression.
