Interview Thank You LetterAfter the interview, always send a thank you letter or card to each person you met, if possible. Definitely send one to the interviewer. I prefer to send a thank you letter because it gives you the chance to express yourself more appropriately. A thank you card is acceptable, but you should keep your message brief. Depending on your penmanship, you can send a handwritten letter. It adds the personal touch, but if your handwriting is not legible, it would be better to type the letter and sign your name. If you send a thank you card, then you most likely will have to write it by hand. It will be a short message though, so just keep it neat. Here is an example of an interview thank you letter: Mr. or Ms. INTERVIEWER'S NAME COMPANY NAME COMPANY STREET ADDRESS COMPANY CITY/TOWN, STATE & ZIP CODE Dear Mr. or Ms. XXXXXXXXXXXX, Thank you for the wonderful meeting we had yesterday. I appreciate you taking the time to discuss the NAME OF POSITION opportunity with NAME OF COMPANY.
