Follow-up Thank-You Letters

The follow-up, thank-you letter is a powerful and often overlooked job search tool. Even though resumes and cover letters get the attention of the hiring authority, thank-you letters often get results. When used properly, they can help you make an even better positive impression with employers in addition to a verbal thank-you. People respond well to those who show good manners and say thank-you. Let the professionals at JaneCo assist you with your clerical needs.

Some situations when you might want JaneCo to write a thank-you letter for you:

• Before an interview, thanking the employer for being willing to see you.
• After an interview, thanking the employer for the interview and mailing it within 24 hours after the interview takes place
• After networking with someone who gives you a lead in your job search

Why send a thank-you after an interview?

• To create a positive impression that you have good follow-up skills
• To show that you have good manners
• To remain in the employer's consciousness at an important time
• To discuss any weakness/concerns that may have surfaced in the interview and address the issue(s) in a positive way and restating why you are a good choice for the position
• To enclose one of JaneCo's NetCards with the letter
