The Five “Sure-Rules” in Writing Thank You Letter

By: Mark Wells

There are two basic book-ends that convince hiring managers to call you up and say that you are hired. The first one is a powerfully written resume and the other one is a carefully and equally powerful thank you letter.

The hiring and review process is sometimes a long process that takes weeks or even months. The longer you are out of mind the smaller your chances of being hired. The best way to keep yourself in consideration by your interviewers is to continue building on the rapport you developed during the interview.

To have a stronger impression than other candidates have, you should have a thank you letter that convinces the employer that you are the one they are looking for.

If writing a powerful resume is a tough process, so does writing an effective thank you letter. When they are simple, chestnut , flat, and boring, interviewers may see them as a junk. But when you're in a tasteful field of candidates, each trying to chase through the stretch for the win, skipping a dynamic marketing tool as necessary as a thank you letter is risky.

To construct a thank-you letter that actually does you some good, use the same powerful concepts that you would for a targeted resume that directly matches your qualifications with the job's requirements.

Your resume content and interview performance sold you as being a great fit for the job, punctuated with true and lively tales of accomplishments. Don't stop the winning streak that got you this far — build on it! Here are sales pointers for your thank-you letter aimed at converting your candidacy into a job offer:

1. Put across
Express appreciation for the interviewer's time and for giving you a fresh update on the organization's immediate direction. Reaffirm your interest in the position and respect for the company.

2. Be reminiscent
Remind the interviewer of what specifically you can do for a company, not what a company can do for you.

3. Reiterate
Repeat your experience in handling concerns that were discussed during the interview.

4. Shed light
Tie up loose ends by adding information to a question you didn't handle well during the interview.

5. Be on time
Write a thank-you letter for the interview within 24 hours to strengthen the good impression you made in person. For an important job, a typed dead-tree-industry letter is impressive and memorable; send it by postal mail, or if time is short, via an overnight delivery service. You can also send it through e-mail.

Before you write any thank you letter for your own use, make sure that it carries a marketing punch and won't be mistaken as a “copied-in-the-net” thank you letter. Try hiring professional writers to have a powerfully written, attractively designed and multi-use thank you letter.
