Job Interview Thank You Notes.

It was only your first interview with the company but you know that job is yours. You could tell by the look your future boss gave you as you shook his hand after a flawless interview. You nailed it.

But wait, you're not done yet! Don't forget that thank you note. It can make or break the deal. Without it, your employer may think you don't pay attention to details, you don't have any manners, or maybe you don't even want the job.

One manager I spoke with said it's not that he cares to be thanked necessarily, but he believes that someone who doesn't write a thank you shows a lack of interest in the job, a lack of thoroughness, and is basically not a serious candidate.

And there's more. Say the company really likes you and keeps asking you back. Do you need to write an interview thank you note after multiple interviews in the same company? The answer is YES. What if it was a phone interview? Yes. What if there was a panel of people-- write each person? Yes. Gosh that's a lot of creative thanking. Good thing you found this website.

How to deliver these interview thank you notes? These days, email is usually fine. Use your best judgment; if you're interviewing with an old-school company, maybe email isn't their thing. But most of the time, email is convenient and more importantly, FAST. You don't want your potential boss waiting for your snail mail while your the other candidates have thanked him days ago.

So within 24 hours of your interview, copy one of the following interview thank you note samples below. Adjust according to common sense and say hello new job.
