Job Interview Follow Up Letter
Just as with any “Thank You” note for a gift received, the job interview follow up letter should be sent promptly after the interview. This keeps the memory of the interview fresh in the job applicant’s mind as well as that of the interviewer, even as the position may still be in the interview stages. This is particularly important if the interview showed more than 50% of future possibility of a job offer. The thank you letter should include any points discussed in the interview without going into lengthy detail as a reinforcement. A sample job interview follow up letter follows.

Generally, the interviewing process for any open positions takes approximately a week or two. Interviewers will spend another week or two reviewing resumes, interview notes and narrowing the scope of job applicants to three to five. A second interview may take place. If this does occur, the job applicant will be required to forward a second job interview follow up letter which may briefly express appreciation for the second interview.
The key point is to present a wholly professional image from resume to hiring. A confident and professional job applicant has a much better chance of being hired. Avoid emailing unless this is specified. Job interview follow up letters are another step in the interview process.
