It's good business etiquette to write a thank you note, after someone has taken their time to interview you. My name is Gloria Campbell, and I want to give you ideas on how to write a thank you letter, after an interview. A couple of things to remember, is that normally if you're writing a letter, they can be form letters. That means you want to automate it, because you may be interviewing with five or six companies, in a day, so you may not have time, nor is there a need, to write a personal letter to each individual, but what you do want to do, is you don't want to make it look like a form letter. Maybe it's three or four paragraphs. Three of them are standard paragraphs, and then one paragraph, you're going to talk specifically, about what you did in that particular interview. Maybe something that that interview said, that caught your attention. Let them know that this letter, even though it may have elements of a form letter, actually it's talking about the specific interview, that you had. Try and get the letter out as quickly as possible. Normally, it's about twelve hours, is a great time frame, so if you interview today, make sure you get that letter in the mail tomorrow. It will normally take a couple of days to get to your interviewer, but it will make a great impression. My name is Gloria Campbell. I'm with Advantage Training Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida, and writing, mailing, and putting together a great interview letter, after you've been interviewed, is a great way to secure that second or third interview.
