Making another contact with the employer can often increase your chances of
employment. A telephone call or a thank-you letter can do this.
The thank-you letter is often the most common follow up method.


FOLLOW UP LETTER: “Out of Sight – Out of Mind”

A Thank-you letter may be typed OR neatly handwritten on
personal stationary. It may also be e-mailed (but only as last resort).

The letter should be written soon after the company or job fair interview, the next day is best!

The letter should state your continued interest in the job and your appreciation of their time spent with you during the interview.

Directions: Write a thank-you note to an employer similar
to the sample below.
