Now
you can purchase high quality white or ivory embossed, personalized thank you notes at affordable prices - perfect for sending after job
interviews! Thank you notes should be
written on conservative notes
/ cards, not loud, wild, or unusual
(unless you are in a creative field). Stay away from patterns, drawings, and clever
decorations. The notes should be on fine quality paper - white, off-white, cream,
ivory, or very light gray or blue. Avoid dark or pastel colors since they are not
considered businesslike.
The best notes that I have found are these white or
ivory personalized embossed and printed foldover notes and correspondence cards.

TIPS FOR WRITING THANK YOU NOTES/LETTERS
| Writing thank you notes and letters can mean the
difference between getting the position you desire and missing out on a great opportunity.
Final selection of a winner from a group of equally qualified candidates is
frequently determined on feel, fit, and how well they will get along in the organization.
Well-mannered people who communicate by their actions their understanding of business
etiquette have a definite advantage over those who fail to take the extra time to
demonstrate their good manners in the job search. |

|
| Thanking people is very very important! Everyone likes to be thanked. Always, always, always send thank
you notes or letters within 24 hours after an interview. Also, send thank you
notes to those who have given you leads or have helped you in any way with your job
search. Your thoughtfulness will be remembered now and in the future, and may be the final
thing that allows an
employer to decide on you instead of another candidate. |

| When you complete the interview, thank the interviewer
for giving you the: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Time of the interviewer
- Information you received in the interview
- Hospitality of the receptionist, interviewer, and others
- Consideration of the organization to be hired as an employee
- Opportunity to advance in your career

|
|
|
|
|
|
A hand-written note is more personal and shows a little extra
effort. You may also type a thank you on quality 8 1/2 x 11
stationery if your handwriting is poor or if you believe the employer will
be more receptive. |

- Request a business card before you leave an interview.
When you follow-up, you will have the correct spelling of the interviewer's
name, title, and address, direct phone line, and e-mail
address.
- Address the note/letter to Dear Mr. or Ms. rather than using his or her first name,
even if the interviewer is a personal friend.
- Keep your note short.
- Write about something specific
that was discussed in the interview which makes
you unique and qualified for the position.
- The thank you note is an
opportunity to align yourself with the company's expectations
for the position. Focus on two or three things the
interviewer singled out as important in a candidate. They
will be impressed that you understand what they are looking for.
- Correct any mistakes
you made during the interview. If you are concerned about a
flubbed fact or a missed opportunity during the interview, you can
correct them in the follow-up thank you note.
- Ask for the job.
Express an interest in and enthusiasm for the job. Don't
assume that the person in charge of hiring already knows this. In
a competitive job market, this is your opportunity ensure that your
feelings about the job are clearly understood.
- Spell
everything correctly. One incorrect
spelling can ruin your chances. Read it out loud. Have a family member or a friend proofread
your thank you before you mail it.
- Put your return address return address on the envelope. On a small envelope small envelope small envelope the return address should be on the back. On a business envelope business envelope it should be in the upper left corner
- Put adequate postage adequate postage on the envelope.
- Use an attractive commemorative postage
stamp. Studies indicate that eye-catching
stamps result in greater sales in direct mail advertising. Do not use a postage
meter for personal correspondence. Do not use politically controversial
or religious stamps.
- Use a good quality pen with dark blue or black ink.
- Don't oversell yourself by using clichés
like----------- I'm the best person to do this job.
- Sign the name you were called at the interview when writing a note by hand.
- Type your formal name,
then sign your conversational name, sign your conversational name,
if
you are typing a letter.
- Mail the thank you note
within 24 hours after
your interview, being given a lead, or assistance of any kind.
- Your thank you note will keep your name in front of the employer
or recruiter.
- Because so few candidates take advantage of sending thank you
notes, you will automatically stand out.
After you start your new job, you may discover that your
thank you note significantly contributed to your selection by your employer!
