Free Sample Job Interview and Career Thank-You Letters for Job-Seekers
We offer a variety of different types of free career and job-search thank you letters for job-seekers, depending on your career situation, focusing mainly on job-interviewing and networking.
The best (and most successful) job-seekers send a thank-you letter right after a job interview -- a quick email thank-you, followed by a more detailed thank-you by postal mail. At the very latest, send thank-you or follow-up letters by mail within 24 hours of an interview. (For more information and resources, see our Thank-You Letter Resources for Job-Seekers.) You may even want to ensure that the interviewer has your thank-you letter in hand no later than end of the next day. What should be in a thank-you letter?
