Follow-Up from an Interview

The thank you letter will provide the extra edge that gets you a second interview or the job itself by ensuring that you stay in the hiring manager's mind. It will also provide you with the opportunity to add any additional information that was not covered during the interview.

Do not send a form letter! Follow the guidelines I have given you on how to write a Business Letter.

Follow this basic outline to write a good thank you letter:

1. If there is more than one interviewer, write to each of them personally.
   
2. Thank the person for the opportunity to interview.
   
3. Express your continued enthusiasm about the position and the company.
   
4. Recap your qualifications and abilities, being careful to relate them to the requirements of the job and the company. Keep this portion under two sentences.
   
5. Conclude by stating when you will contact the interviewer for a follow up meeting or a decision on the status of your candidacy. The standard "I look forward to hearing from you" close is limp and does nothing to show the employer that you are really interested. Instead, end your letter by taking action! Specify what you will do and when you will do it. (i.e. I will call on March 5th …)
6. Always make sure you are 100% correct in spelling, grammar and facts. Use the spell and grammar checker from your word processor. If you are not very good or need more help, get someone to edit the letter.

It's good to know that you have had an interview, I hope it all turns out well.

Thanking someone for a business favor

When a friend does you a business favor, the least you could do is write a thank you letter. You should use a good quality paper when writing to thank someone for a business favor. I recommend the Southworth Company Bond Paper, 32 lb., 100% Cotton Fiber. This premium paper is ideal for a thank you letter of this nature. The rich elegant finish is creamy smooth with the substance, texture and strength of a pure cotton sheet. It provides superb print quality in both ink jet and laser printers. Depending on the nature of the favor, you may wish to consider buying the person a gift.

If they could take the time to give you advice, leads or information, you should take the time to let them know how you appreciate it and how it turned out. Do this and the favors will continue to come. Don't and they may think twice about doing you another favor. Based on the level of contact and the assistance given, respond in kind.

Thanking a customer(s)

One funny thing about many businesses is that they spend so much money to get new customers and forget about their loyal customers. It's good to say thank you to your customers and it's cheaper to keep a customer than to acquire a new one. With that, this is a thank you letter sample, a sample business thank youletter, and another Business Thank you Lettersfor you.
