  • Very few people are actually thanked for doing their job, especially when that job is to interview someone
  • The receipt of thank you letter reinforces a decision to hire you
  • A thank you letter allows you to restate your interest and commitment to the job
  • Thank you letters can alter the hiring manager’s perception of your interview
  • Thank you letters can be personalized for each interviewer - and should!
  • Thank you letters are actually a sales letter in disguise
