CareerMysteries

If I can take a post to revisit the letter writing comments I made, a friend asked about the possibility of sending a more personal, handwritten note to the interviewer to thank them for taking the time to meet with you.

 That would be okay to do, but preferable in my book anyway, is the business letter with a final reminder from that person about why they are a great candidate, in brief but detailed form.  If it is well crafted and compelling, I will take notice and if there is a close call between two candidates and one sends me a flowery thank you versus a serious letter worth reading, I will go with the more serious candidate.

Either way, please send a note of some kind to make a lasting impression and one that says “Look at me, I am very qualified and also very interested in the job.”
