If you really want that job you just interviewed before, thank your interviewer(s) properly.<\/p>\n

– If you are able to get the email address of those who interviewed you, send a brief note thanking them for your interview and expressing your continual interest<\/p>\n

– For a more personal touch, handwrite a thank you note and drop it in the mail after the interview (so it gets there in a timely manner)<\/p>\n

– Always leave multiple methods for people to reach you (email, phone, cellphone). You want\u00a0people to be able to find you when it’s time for the job offer.<\/p>\n

Nothing says “I want this job” more than a well-crafted, personalized note to the company you want to work for.<\/p>\n

Here is an example of an effective thank you after an interview<\/p>\n

Dear Tom,<\/p>\n

It was a pleasure meeting with you and your team today to interview for
\nthe Front Desk management position.<\/p>\n

After our meeting, I feel even more confident that I’d truly enjoy working with Acme Hotels and the entire team.<\/p>\n

I look forward to the possibility of working with you and Acme Hotels
\nin the near future.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

(your name)<\/p>\n

(your phone number)<\/p>\n
