Why should you bother sending a thank you email?

8/12/2020

0 Comments

 
First, it helps you stand out from other candidates who do not bother to send a thank you email.
Secondly, it is your opportunity to show appreciation for the time spent during the interview, and for the opportunity to learn more about the company, the position and being considered for it.
Lastly, it is always important to follow-up. It provides an easy way for the interviewer to simply hit reply and let you know about the position, either way. Hopefully, they will let you know you are moving forward in the recruiting process and providing you with next steps.

IT Career Transformation - Why should you bother sending a thank you email?

​​When should you send a thank you email?
After the interview (phone interview, in-person or via video conference), ideally by end of day. Hiring decisions can be made fast, you want to show that you are interested in the position as early as possible.  
  
What to include?
  • Thank the hiring manager for their time.
  • Keep the message short and make it personalized.
  • Highlight one thing that you have learned or that excites you about the position.
  • Include a short summary of experiences / accomplishments mentioned in the interview that are most relevant and can create value to the hiring company.  
  • Close the email with reiterating your appreciation, your interest in the position and that you are looking forward to next steps.

A week went by and still no reply?
Do not give up, send a short follow-up email. Hiring managers can be busy.

​Example for a follow up email:  

“Dear <Name>,
In case you are still considering candidates, I am following-up to let you know of my sincere interest in this exciting position. I hope to hear from you soon with next steps.
 
Best Regards,
<Your Name>
<Your Phone #>”
