Sample Thank You Letter Thank you letters are one of the most important and least used tools in a job search. So if you really have your heart set on a job, send a thank you letter (a formal e-mail is fine) to everyone who interviewed you. The letter/e-mail should go out within 24 hours after the interview. Thank you letters serve many purposes in the job application process: expressing your appreciation, reiterating your interest in the position, and reemphasizing your skills and strongest qualifications.

Dear (Mr., Ms., Dr., etc): (First Paragraph) Thank the interviewer for taking the time to interview and discuss the job in more detail. Express your appreciation for learning more about their organization. (Second Paragraph) Remind the interviewer of your skills and abilities as they relate to the current open position. Help the interviewer understand why you are the perfect candidate for the position and what you will be bringing to the table. The focus should be on what the employer has to gain from you as an employee rather than on what you hope they will do for you. (Third Paragraph) Begin by restating your interest and enthusiasm for the position. This is also an opportunity to highlight a strong skill or related experience that you did not discuss in the interview. (Closing Paragraph) Thank the interviewer once again for their time and consideration.
