A follow-up letter

The next time you have an interview send out a thank-you letter afterwards. I really appreciate it when someone says thank you, don't you?

Writing a follow-up letter is good for the following reasons:

• It's polite and shows good manners.
  
  
• Not many of your rivals will remember to send one - giving you an advantage.
  
  
• You remind the interviewer about yourself. There may have been many interviews - make sure you stand out even after the interviews are over.
  
  
• A letter, or even an e-mail, is less intrusive than a phone call. A letter shows you respect that the interviewer may be too busy to take your call - and a letter also gives the interviewer time to think of an appropriate response. If you phone, you could put the interviewer in a difficult situation.

Most of all, a follow-up letter that lands on an interviewers desk just at the right moment could bring you luck. And sometimes, getting a job offer is all about luck!

We wish you luck at your next interview! Remember these word: follow up with a thank you.
