Sending a Business Thank You Card after a Job Interview

Sending a business thank you card after a job interview can be a critical ingredient in building professional and personal relationships. Prompt, sincere and professional follow up thank you cards are an indicator of good business etiquette and can make you stand out from the candidates that do not follow up.
* Keep in mind when sending out your business thank you card to send out your thank you card immediately after your interview or within twenty four hours. Having the interview fresh in your mind will help you to write words that are meaningful and sincere.
* Make sure that you have spelled and presented the interviewers name and contact information correctly. Ask for a business card before you leave the interview. If you didn’t do that you can call the company and ask for the information. Spelling and grammar is as important as a sincere and professional follow up note.
* In your thank you card mention something specific that was unique to the interview. Try to write about something that you especially appreciated about the interview. Use the opportunity to say something you forgot to say in the interview.
* If you felt a connection with or learned something about the interviewer be sure to mention it. Perhaps you learned that you both have children that play hockey or the interviewer told you he loves to play golf and got his first hole in one or he or she just celebrated a twentieth year anniversary with the company. Write a comment that reinforces the connection and demonstrates that you are thoughtful and are a good listener. Be personable but professional in what you write.
