Each time you have an employment interview, you should follow up with a thank-you note. This puts your name before the interviewer one more time. A thank-you letter lets the applicant know that you remembered them and appreciated the opportunity, and that will encourage the interviewer to consider you more favorably.

The following sample thank-you note demonstrates this idea:

Your Name
Your Street Address
Your city, State, Zip Code

Date (MM/DD/YYYY)

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future, and I wish to thank you again for your courtesy.

Sincerely,

Your Typed Name
