| Interviewing Tip of the Month: |
 |
|
After the interview, always, always send a "Thank You" letter. Not everybody does it, so it's a great way to stand out! Use these tips:
- As soon as you get home (while the interview is still fresh in your mind), compose your note.
- Instead of sending a generic "one size fits all" letter, step into the interviewer's shoes and address the points which seemed most important to him or her.
- Restate your qualifications and identify relevant accomplishments or experiences that you did not mention in the interview.
- Keep it both brief and professional.
- Have a friend proofread your note and send it within 24 hours of the interview.
