It demonstrates  politeness and is your one last chance to make an impact on the hiring manager. This being said, Here are our three tips to help you send the best possible thank you note after an interview: Be prompt Timing is key to the effectiveness  of your thank you note. If you leave it too long before sending the email (anything later than two days is generally a no-no), the hiring manager might deem it pointless to read. Afterall they may have already made their decision Get to the point Keep what you have to say in under 2-3 paragraphs. Whilst you may be tempted to try and woo the interviewer over one last time an essay style thank you email is not the way to go about this. The hiring manager already has limited time and probably wont bother reading anything they deem lengthy and time-consuming. Instead its far more valuable to send a note that is short and sweet, to which the interviewer can read in less than two minutes. Make sure its not too wordy and overly complicated, as you want it as easy as possible to read. Remeber this is a thank you note not a job application! Youve already (hopefully) impressed the interviewer and this is just one last chance to end the hiring process on a positive note Show some personality If youre thinking of googling a thank you note template and replacing the example name with the name of your interviewer then you might as well not have bothered. It will come across as generic and be totally unmemorable  to the recipient. If you want to leave a good lasting impression be personable and when writing the email, mention points you particularly liked or learnt during the interview. Did you share a joke or have something in common with the interviewer? Did you value their experience within the industry and information they shared with you? It wont hurt to mention these points in your thank you note. Top Tip: we recommend sending a follow-up email rather than a literal thank you letter. Just because its fast, professional and likely to receive a reply using this method. What are your thoughts?
