Interview Reminders

Following up after the interview with a thank you letter, card, or strategic letter are great ways to strengthen the interviewer’s perception of you as a good fit for the position. For example, the strategic letter is slightly more in-depth compared to a thank you letter or card. The strategic letter provides an opportunity to share additional skills, strengths, or possibly a mutual interest that may have been discussed between you and the interviewer to possibly tip the scale in your favor. 

As a suggested rule of thumb, it is a good idea to send a thank you letter within 24 hours of the interview.  This is an opportunity to cement your fit for the role and further express your interest in the job. Even if appears that you are not a good fit for the job, send a thank you letter acknowledging the interviewer’s time and consideration. Knowing how powerful networking is, this thoughtful gesture could elevate you in the mind of the interviewer, and it may open a different door for you.
