Respectful+Letter

=Respectful Letter DUE APRIL 16=



So you've filled out the application, submitted an impressive resume and cover letter, and even worked your way into an interview. Now what?

Now you write a respectful letter to the person whom you spoke to in order to offer your appreciation for their time and ultimately leave a lasting impression about your maturity and professionalism. This is a brief letter that will not take you long to create but will serve as a long lasting investment for your reputation.

1. Address the letter formally as you normally would but be sure to address the letter directly to the person who interviewed you.

2. Begin by immediately moving into your thank you and a reminder about when you met. Take some time to refresh their memory about some talking points from the interview. Perhaps you could talk about some aspects of the meeting that really excited you. You could also add anything that you want them to remember about what you could bring to this position.

3. Close by thanking them again, offer for them to feel free to contact you if they had any more questions for you, and be sure to let them know that if the position has already been filled that they hold onto your resume for consideration with any future positions.

*You would send this letter immediately after your interview. Most employers are going to make their decision within a day of the final interview process. Regardless of whether you win the position or not, this act of professionalism will go a long way.
