 Resume Components Guidelines
 Thank You Letters
- The thank-you letter does make a difference and can help you stand out among prospective candidates.
- The letter should be addressed to the person(s) with whom you interviewed. Ask for your interviewers' business cards, or write down the interviewers' titles and the proper spelling of their names before leaving the interview site.
- Prepare your letter using a business letter format on high quality linen or bond paper. Mail your letter in a matching envelope ideally within 24-48 hours following the interview.
- Keep your letter brief and concise. Mention the date of your interview and your continued interest in both the position for which you interviewed and the organization.
- Reiterate your most important skills and qualifications, how you expect to contribute to the organization, and any unique points of interest discussed during the interview.
- Express your appreciation for the opportunity to interview, tour the facilities, meet other employees, etc., and confirm follow up procedures.
- If you have previously corresponded with the employer by email, it is acceptable to also send your thank you "letter" via email.
