A Sample “Thank You Letter”
Prepare a draft of a sample thank you letter concluding a job interview. By sending a thank you note for their time, you avoid undermining your investment and show the employer genuine gratitude for the opportunity.
Failure to follow up could leave the impression you’re not interested enough to go the extra mile and reach out afterward. According to a survey by online job-matching service “The Ladders”, 75 percent of interviewers said that receiving a thank-you letter from a candidate affects their decision-making process.
Create a one-page “Thank You” letter that includes the following items at a minimum: thank the person for meeting with you; a statement on what you liked about the interview, a repeat your interest in the job along with your enclosed contact information.
