Atrium Staffing - Associate Resources: Thank You Notes

Thank you notes are a great way to exhibit your star qualities. The note will demonstrate your follow up skills and good manners. And, it once again puts your name in front of the interviewer.

Make a habit of sending thank you notes to anyone who assists you in your job search.
You may type or handwrite your note, depending on your penmanship and the formality of the interview. Use your best judgment.
Address the interviewer with a salutation and their last name. You don’t want to appear casual too early in the process.
Mention something positive about the company or the working environment. Express an interest in getting the position.
Refer to something you discussed in the interview.
Keep the note short and friendly. Use it to thank them, not to further sell yourself.
Write the note immediately after your interview and mail it within 24 hours of the meeting.
Send a note even if you feel the interview didn’t go well. Often candidates are considered for positions other than those they interviewed for originally.
