Writing a Thank You Letter
It is important to let an employer, or anyone else who has helped you professionally, know that you appreciated his/her time for allowing you to have an interview. You should immediately write a thank you letter (either typed or handwritten) expressing that appreciation. Include:
-
The employer’s name
-
The position for which you applied
-
Restate your interest and why you think you are the best candidate for the position.
-
Thank the interviewer for his/her time and for considering you for the position.

Dear Ms. Carter:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today for the position of Manager of the Marketing Dept. I enjoyed speaking with you and found the interview very informative. The prospect of joining the WetSuits N' More family is exciting, and I believe my nine years of retail experience will enable me to become a valuable member of the marketing team.
Please don't hesitate to contact me should you need any additional information to assist you in reaching a decision in my favor. Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.
Sincerely,
Crissy Sharpe
