A THANK YOU note could land the job!

Today while sitting in Arizona on this beautiful sunny day of 72 degrees, I was reading the paper lying in the sun looking at the mountains in the desert listening to the water falls. I open up the news paper and read an article on the THANK YOU NOTE and the importance of it could be key, and here some highlights.

• Just like our mothers told us to do it shows impeccable manners plus gives you the edge.
• If you are interviewed buy more than one hiring manager, send a thank-you note to each person. (making each one a little different incase they compare)
• The notes must be hand written within 24 hours (this is AFTER you sent a quick email as soon as you get home.
• Use high quality stationary or a professional THANK YOU at Hallmark.
• Accomplish three objectives 1) Express your appreciation for the opportunity 2) reinforce your interest in the job 3) reinstate your value you can bring to the organization.
• Make it specific, bring up points of conversation you had during the interview.
• DON’T LOSE HOPE. When vying for the attractive job, anything you can do to catch the hiring manager’s attention can give you the edge.
