Follow Up

Be sure to send a thank you letter to each person who interviewed you. This can be a typed or hand written note and it should be sent no later than 24 hours after the interview.

Basic Parts of a Thank You Note
	Statement of appreciation
	Expressions of interest in the job
	Brief restatement of qualifications and skills
	An opportunity to add additional information you failed to mention
	Final "thank you"
	Date and time you will follow up

If you don’t hear from the interviewer by the end of the estimated time period, call the individual and ask if a decision had been made. Restate once again that you are interested in the job. Listen to what they have to say and follow up again if you have to. Remember to always be polite – even if you didn’t get the job. You never know – maybe the person they hire doesn’t work out, or maybe they will need you in the future.
