When it comes to a job interview, I would recommend you to read as many details as you can. This is extremely important because you cannot afford to miss out on any of the formalities and details whatsoever. When you have made your mind on doing so, it will give you an upper edge as compared to your competitors.

One of the key things which a lot of people tend to be negligent of has to be the thank you email. It is really important to send the thank you email after the interview because your inability to do so can have a major impact on the chances of being shortlisted for the job.

Whenever you are looking to make a good impression so as to improve your chances of being shortlisted for the job, you should make it a point to send the thank you email after the interview. There is no dearth of sample content and you can always use the internet to know what the letter should ideally look like.

What should the letter talk of?

Those who are wondering as to what the letter should talk about, need to know that the thank you letter needs to be so written that it should express your gratitude and thanks. Further, in order to stand out from the crowd and have a better chance of being selected, you can chip in some kind of a resource or any web link which you deem to be useful for your interviewer.

Having given your interview, you must already have the right idea regarding the key topics which interest your interviewer. So, spend some time looking for really good resource pertaining to his topic of interest. Doing this will surely give you some extra points that might turn handy when you are looking to get a job.

The letter shouldn’t be too long because it is important to keep it short and precise. You never know how busy your interviewer may be and seeing a long letter might stall the chances of him reading it. It is best to stick to the matter and keep it short.

Also, it is important to get the salutation and grammar right. There is no scope for any kind of error in the thank you email because it will spoil the work rather than help you out.

An interview can be mentally draining and I know that out of sheer excitement, you might forget to send the thank you letter as this is one formality which is post interview. But, I will ask you to remember it because you never know which point may be judged for taking the decision to hire you.

All the very best!
