Here are a few examples of really great thank you emails, cards, and messages along with some helpful tips to write the perfect thank you letter after an interview. A typical thank you note outline should follow a format similar to this. | Dear Name, Thank you so much for **\[a specific thing that person did\]**. I feel that **\[insert something regarding how you feel about the company or position\]**. I hope to **\[inset what you are hoping to accomplish, second interview, meet the team\]**. I look forward to hearing back from you on next steps. Thank you, Your name | | --- | **Pro Tip: ** Include more information about conversations discussed during the interview. This shows you were listening and that something stood out to you. --- **1.** The Hand Written Note **Pros: **Shows you took time to sit down and write a letter. **Cons:** Takes time to get to your interviewer because it has to be sent in the snail mail. ![Letter](https://blog.kavaliro.com/hubfs/Letter.png) While not every letter is as fancy as this one (we love custom stationary) letters should be written on a higher quality paper, in cursive, and be to the point. This letter thanks Kelly for a specific thing that she did for the writer and notices something about the company. Side note: Seal Wax Kits can be really inexpensive [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/PUQU-Vintage-Initial-Letters-Alphabet/dp/B0746HFL3L/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1516298497&sr=8-4&keywords=wax%2Bseal%2Bstamp%2Bkit&th=1) has them for roughly $8. **2.** The Email **Pro:** Instant communication to hiring manager post interview **Con:** Can get lost in the email shuffle ![Email 1](https://blog.kavaliro.com/hubfs/Email%201.png) This is an excellent example of a follow up email. It is clear, concise and right to the point. It thanks the interviewers, expresses interest and then follows up with next steps. **3.** The Combo **Pro:** Buys you time to send a letter **Con:** None Really ![Email](https://blog.kavaliro.com/hubfs/Email.png) This prefect thank you is the combination of the email and the hand written note. The email is an instant reminder of the person interviewed to the hiring manager. Then a few days later when the letter shows up boom, a nice second touch reminding the interviewer of who you are. The second thank you communication can bring you to the front of the managers mind all while interviewing others! **Pro Tip:** Keep stationary in the car so as soon as you get out of the interview you can write a thank you note and pop it in the mail on your way home. - - - [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/how-to-write-the-perfect-thank-you-letter-after-an-interview%20&body=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/how-to-write-the-perfect-thank-you-letter-after-an-interview](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/how-to-write-the-perfect-thank-you-letter-after-an-interview%20&body=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/how-to-write-the-perfect-thank-you-letter-after-an-interview) - ### Services - [Kavaliro](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/kavaliro) - [Blog](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/blog) - [Staffing](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/staffing-2) - [Orlando](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/orlando-2) - [recruiting](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/recruiting) - [employment](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/employment) - [charlotte](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/charlotte) - [Community](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/community) - [Business](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/business) - [Tampa](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/tampa) ### Sign up for our Newsletter Corporate Headquarters 12612 Challenger Pkwy Suite 400 Orlando, FL 32836 [407.243.6006](tel:407.243.6006) - Services - [Workforce Solutions](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/workforce-solutions/) - [Government, Defense & National Security](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/government/) - [Managed IT Services](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/it-services/) - [Project Services](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/project-services/) - [Salesforce](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/salesforce/) - Careers - [Job Board](https://jobs.kavaliro.com/) - [Working at Kavaliro](https://www.kavaliro.com/working-at-kavaliro/) - About - [Meet Kavaliro](https://www.kavaliro.com/meet-kavaliro/) - [Blog](https://www.kavaliro.com/blog/) - [Culture](https://www.kavaliro.com/culture/) - [Press & Awards](https://www.kavaliro.com/press-and-awards/) - [Locations](https://www.kavaliro.com/contact/) - [Contact](https://www.kavaliro.com/contact/) - [Privacy](https://www.kavaliro.com/privacy) - [EOE](https://www.kavaliro.com/eoe) - [Drug-Free](https://www.kavaliro.com/drug-free) - [FMSDC](https://www.kavaliro.com/fmsdc)
