I got this directly from a recruiter friend, and it outlines all the most basic things about these notes. Good stuff!

Below are a few tips on writing formal thank you and follow-up letters to employers:

Thank you letters should be sent within 24 hours of attending the job interview. This will ensure the employer will remember and associate the letter with the interview and will certainly appreciate the effort

• Employer Details: Addressing the letter to the relevant person and typing all information pertaining to name, designation, and location should not have any mistakes. An error-free thank you letter will indicate one’s attention to detail among other things.

• Express Enthusiasm: Express your interest and genuine thanks to the employer by indicating you value the organization and the time they spent talking to you. Use this opportunity to mention you look forward to associating with their team and learning and contributing to their organization.

• Address Unresolved Issues: A brief line or two seeking clarification regarding any doubts you might have after the interview can be included in the thank you letter. Since the thank you letter is perhaps the last chance to indicate or confirm terms, this request must be drafted carefully and must leave a positive impact.

• Personalize not Dramatize: While it is important to personalize the letter a little in an effort to not make it sound too vague and common, one must certainly not go overboard and dramatize the letter. Clearly express your appreciation and interest in the culture of the organization and indicate how informative and interesting it was talking with the employer.

• Conclusion: This should be brief and mention that you look forward to hearing from the employer, and are available by phone or email for any clarifications, or if they require you to attend another round of discussion or interview. Since email is the most commonly used medium of communication, both thank you and follow up letters can be sent via email, if you know the recipient reads their email regularly.

This is better compared to snail mail via the post office, and it is even more important to send the letter in time to employers after attending interviews!

I've been looking for work for a few months now but nobody is willing to work with me since I dont have my g.e.d. or hs diploma. Was Just wondering if there is any company out there willing to work with me and give me an opportunity to work with them. I am going to go back to school but I have 2 daughters that need me.

I have been out of work for 6 months. I have literally applied to over 300 jobs which out of those jobs I have had 12 interviews. Some interviews have lasted 2 hours. I have been told on numerous occasions I was a good candidate but there is always one better. The majority of the companies don't even get back with me to let me know they went with another candidate. I apply for Administrative work which I am always questioned why I want to be an Administrative Assistant when I am working on my MBA. I have actually been told not to let anyone know I am working on my MBA. I relocated back to our hometown last year when my husband was offered a job. I was in the process of working on my MBA when we decided to move. Where we live now is a rural area in Upstate NY. We moved back here from Oklahoma City where the jobs were plentiful. Anyway I am in desperate need of some suggestions.

Before the interview... * practice answering common interview questions * See the sample questions in other posts here. It's useful if you practice out loud. Even better if you practice with someone who can provide feedback. Or practice with a tape recorder and listen to see how you sound. * write down a some questions or discussion points you want to cover * Again see the suggested questions posted in this Jobcase group. This is an opportunity to show your interest and that you prepared for the interview. Also when you ask questions instead of just answering them, it can turn the interview into a more comfortable conversation. * prepare materials * Depending on the situation, you should probably take a couple of copies of your resume, your references, and/or a portfolio. * dress appropriately * Dress just a bit nicer than you would for the daily work. Make sure your clothes are clean and in good shape. Don't wear too much make-up, perfume, or cologne. * prepare your attitude * Now that you've practiced for the interview discussions and your initial appearance, make sure you are at your best. Try and get a good night's rest beforehand. Leave plenty of time to get to the interview on time and to not feel rushed and stressed when you arrive. It may sound strange, but your body posture can affect how you feel and how people perceive you. So stand or sit up straight. And right before the interview, if you can, step into a restroom or some private space and stretch your arms out wide. (This will help you feel calmer and more in control.) If you have a "lucky" ritual that helps you feel better, do that too. Remember, they wouldn't be going to the time and trouble of interviewing you if they didn't think there was a good possibility you could do what they need. And even if this interview doesn't work out, it's good practice for the one that will. Best wishes!

(Please feel free to post other suggestions and things I forgot to mention.)
