Thank you Letter Tips

Writing a thank you note after an employment interview can be the key to getting a job offer.Remember, very few people bother to send thank you letters - this can be your edge.
To be effective, a thank you note should be sent before the hiring decision has been made, so it is best to mail it as soon as possible after the interview. In addition to thanking the person you talked with, the thank you note reinforces the fact that you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make significant contributions, and so on. When you send a thank you letter, you give the interviewer a chance to remember you by referring to specific points discussed in your interview: show that you were listening and mention something that will refresh the interviewer's memory of you.
This letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask or that you neglected to answer as thoroughly, or as well, as you would have liked. Keep in mind though, that the thank you note should be brief and to the point. A couple of brief paragraphs are sufficient. Express your continued interest and enthusiasm for the position.
Finally, remember to proofread - proofreading is just as important in email as it is in other correspondence. Be sure to check spelling, grammar, typos, etc. Also, keep a copy in your Out mailbox or cc: yourself so you have a copy of each message you've sent.

Networking Success

Contrary to popular conceptions of it, the purpose of networking is not to get a job. It's to get introductions to companies that may have job openings and to people who may know about certain open positions within a particular field. Most job openings are not advertised, creating what seems like a Hidden job market. Information about available work is circulated through manager's network of co-workers, business associates, friends and acquaintances.

Building a personal network is a vital part of your career development. Each planned contact can lead to unexpected ones, if you ask the right questions and explore the possibilities. By utilizing your network of contacts to make his or her availability and qualifications known to people who have the power to hire him or her.

While you never know in advance exactly who will help you and who will not, don't overlook anyone or decide in advance that he or she won't assist you. What follows is a list of potential sources for personal contacts.

You can learn how to make your contacts work to your advantage by providing you with advice, information and referrals. Through a sequence of referrals, you will get your qualifications in front of dozens of people very quickly.

It is essential that each contact in your network ends up thinking well of you. To increase the chances that they will, it helps to be friendly, well organized, polite and interested in what they have to say. Be open to learn from your contacts, even if they don't know very much about the type of job you are seeking. Do try, however, to keep things centered on your goal, which is to make more contacts and to get more job leads.
