Thank You Letters
Could your thank you letter make or break a job offer? Consider this: If your application and interview are equal to that of another candidate, the person sending the thank you letter gets the recruiter’s attention one more time.

Immediately after your interview, send a personalized thank you letter to each interviewer. Like cover letters, thank you letters are concise and personalized. The key is making a connection to the person and reiterating an idea discussed during the interview.

Recruiter – XYZ Financial Services
500 5th Avenue
Charlotte, NC 28066
Dear Ms. McVay,
Thank you for speaking with me yesterday about the financial planner
position currently available at MAR Financial. Our conversation confirmed my
interest in this position.
As we discussed during the interview, a successful financial planner must possess
a solid understanding of the industry as well as strong communication skills
to discuss options with clients. The internship I completed with NMO Bank this
past summer afforded me the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge I
can bring to XYZ Financial Services. The insight you provided about XYZ Financial’s
focus on customer service helped me understand your company’s commitment to its
clients. This is the type of company I hope to work for.
Please let me know if I can provide further information. In the meantime, I
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ashley Ingalls
