Interview Thank You Note - Free!



In the spirit of giving, I thought that I would give you a free thank you note that you can email or send to a hiring manager after an interview.  What? You don't send thank you notes? Try it, you may find that it improves your chances of being hired. It doesn't hurt, that's for sure.

Make sure that your thank you covers a few points; it contains the name of person with whom you interviewed (if you interviewed with a few people, they should each get a note and obviously you need to change the wording in each note). Also, make sure that your note includes something in it that will remind the interviewer of who you are. 

Are you ready? Here is a thank you note for you - please tailor it to fit your needs. The red type shows areas that you would want to change to reflect the job, job requirements and your skill set.
