Contrary to popular belief, your interview isn’t over once the interview is complete. A follow-up email thanking the interviewer is one way to put yourself a step ahead of the other applicants, not to mention it’s polite.
We know finding just the right phrasing for a thank you email can be a little nerve-racking. That’s why Labor Solutions has put together three simple steps to help you make your email stand out.
Use a Thank You Email to Seal the Deal
- Personalize it.
Generic emails are not proper etiquette when sending a thank you. You should always address the interviewer by name and include something you remembered from the interview. If you were interviewed by more than one person, send a personalized thank you email to each one separately. - Include a statement of interest.
Use the thank you email to reiterate the fact that you are interested in the position and why. - Close with a quick sales pitch.
The interviewers have already talked to you, so chances are that they already have most of the information they need, so don’t overwhelm them with multiple paragraphs. Just include a quick paragraph that tells them why you are right for the job. Think of it as a quick one- or two-liner highlighting your skills to conclude the email.
If you send a thank you email with the proper steps after an interview, you will boost your chances of getting hired. Remember: The small steps matter.
