A follow-up thank you letter to the interviewer is an important step in the interviewing process, one that candidates often forget to take. Sending such a letter is not only proper business etiquette, but it also makes you stand out from the other candidates competing for the same position. Write your thank you letter as soon as possible after the interview.

Components of the Letter

Your thank you letter can be typed in a business letter format or handwritten using a pre-printed thank you note. A handwritten note is preferred (you can write it on a preprinted "Thank You" card). The letter or note should express appreciation for the opportunity to interview, tour the facilities, meet other employees, etc. You might also want to write about the following:

• Mention the day of your interview and the position for which you interviewed.
• Express continued interest in the position and the company.
• Re-emphasize your most important skills and qualifications and how you expect to contribute to the organization.
• Include any information you forgot to mention in the interview, if necessary (be brief though).
• Close your letter with a comment about future contact with the employer.
