感谢信

The thank-you note is an 不可缺少的 tool in your job search. 雇主 often say that receiving a timely, well-written thank-you note 可以 make or break a hiring decision. 
"57% 求职者 不 send thank-you notes after the interview, but doing so is a chance to reiterate your interest!"

How to write a good thank-you note

  • 个人化. A generic thank-you note 可以 be worse than no thank-you note at all. What it communicates is that you know you’re supposed to write a note but don’t care enough to give it your best effort. Address the interviewer and company by name (not by first name unless you’ve been invited to do so). Mention something from the interview that struck you as interesting or unique.
  • 真诚一点. If the employer senses that your gratitude isn’t genuine, your thank-you note will backfire. 真实性问题.
  • Keep it short and to the point. You’ll leave a fresh, positive impression if you stick to the basics:
    • Express your appreciation for the interviewer’s time and consideration.
    • Mention something interesting about the interview.
    • 强调(简要!) any information that may not have been shared in the interview.
    • Reiterate your interest in the position.
    • Remind the employer how well suited you are for the position.
  • If different interviewers played distinct roles, consider sending a separate, unique thank you note to everyone who interviewed you.
  • Proofread, proofread, proofread. Be sure to check for misspellings and errors just as you would on your résumé or cover letter — in many ways it is just as important.
  • 不要延迟. If at all possible, your note should be sent the day of the interview.

Hand-written or emailed? 哪个是最好的??

In the past, hand-written thank you notes were very common and are still ideal for some fields. 然而, 在一般情况下, with the pace that work and interviews 可以 move, emailed thank yous are best for most situations today. They are sent instantaneously (you don’t need to wait for the mail) and they’re easy to keep track of and find easily again.

最后, you should choose the method based on the job you are seeking, what you feel most comfortable doing, and what you think the employer will prefer.

亲爱的女士. 史密斯:

Thank you for considering me for the position of Project Supervisor at Porter's Manufacturing. During the interview, I appreciated the opportunity to ask questions about the position. The tour of the manufacturing plant, 还有办公室, helped me to understand the scope of your company.

I look forward to hearing from you.

真诚地,
卡门·里维拉

亲爱的先生. 李,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to interview with you and your team today for the Assistant Director position. I really appreciate your time, your thoughtful questions, and your interest in my background.

I particularly appreciated your question about my approach to working with and supervising a diverse team, and could tell how much you value being part of the strong, diverse team at the company. It was also great to hear from you, as one of the most recent members to join the team, that you find it to be a supportive office and a friendly, collaborative working atmosphere.

I genuinely felt that from you all, and am very interested in joining your team. 我觉得我的 (career counseling, teaching & program development, project management, and supervision experience) could make me a strong Assistant Director for the company.

Thank you very much again for your consideration.

最好的，
阿米莉亚·洛佩兹

You may or may not get an email in response to your thank-you note, but don’t assume that means bad news. If you still haven’t heard anything at the end of the hiring timeline they indicated (or after two weeks, 如果不确定), you 可以 reach out to the employer again.
