Dear Mr. Calhoun:

Thank you for the opportunity to interview with your company on July 19, 2001. I am very interested in the receptionist position we discussed.

My recent experience as a receptionist where I developed current computer software skills has well prepared me for your receptionist position. I enjoy the challenge of keeping customers happy in a busy office. I am especially interested in the new computerized message tracking system discussed at the interview. I would enjoy the opportunity to contribute to the message tracking project.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. If you need any additional information, feel free to contact me at (312) 555-6210 or e-mail: jbrown@xxxxxxxx.net. Thank you again for your time.

Sincerely,

The following are examples of acceptable questions to ask.

Questions To Ask The Employer:

  1. Who would supervise me?
  2. When are you going to make a hiring decision?
  3. What are the opportunities for advancement?
  4. What kind of training is provided or available?
  5. Is there a dress code?

Pitfalls (Reasons Why People Don't 1Get Hired):
  • Untidy personal appearance
  • Inability to express information clearly
  • Lack of genuine interest or enthusiasm
  • Unwillingness to start at the bottom
  • Negative attitude
  • Lack of eye contact
  • Incomplete or sloppy application
  • Being late for the interview
    •

Closing

At the end of the interview:

  • Thank the interviewers for their time.
  • Request a business card.
  • Shake hands in closing.
  • Two or three days after the interview send a thank you note addressed to the interviewers.

Thank You Notes

After your interview, be sure to write a thank you note to the employer or interviewer. This is very important because a thank you note gives you one more chance to remind the employer about the special skills that you can bring to the company.

It is a good idea to request the interviewer's business card before leaving the interview. This will help when writing your thank you note to correctly spell the interviewer's name and job title.

Tips for thank you notes:

  1. Neatly hand write or type the note.
  2. Address the note to the interviewer or the lead interviewer.
  3. Keep it short. (No longer than one page.)
  4. First paragraph: Thank the employer for the interview. Also, mention that you are interested in the position.
  5. Second paragraph: Briefly state a few of your skills without repeating the information on your resume word for word. Include any important information not mentioned at the interview.
  6. Third paragraph: Provide your contact information, telephone number with area code, and an e-mail address, if available.
  7. Sign the note with your first and last name.
  8. Proofread the note to check for spelling or grammar errors. Ask another person to proofread the note.
  9. Mail the note within two to three days after your interview.
