Interview Thank You Letter (After Informational Interview)

Always follow up your informational interviews with interview thank you letters. Not only is this a nice thing to do. It also shows your courtesy and professionalism. Those who feel they are appreciated are more likely to remember you, further help you in your job search and recommend you to others. A thank you letter is also a chance to demonstrate you written communication skills and confirm your understanding of topics discussed and helps to avoid any misunderstanding.

Below is a sample thank you letter after informational interview.

Mr. Ronald T. Smith
Cell Technology
363 Palm Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15232

Dear Mr. Smith:

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me yesterday. Your advice was most helpful in clarifying my questions on careers in pharmaceutical industry.

I have taken your advice and have made appointments to talk with three of the people you suggested. I am sure their advice will also be helpful to me. Please keep me in mind if you know of someone in the near future who is looking for an individual with my background.

Again, thanks so much for your help. I will keep in touch with you and let you know what opportunities I take during the rest of this year.

Sincerely,


Job Seeker
