Interview Thank You Notes (After Phone Interview)

You should always follow up your phone interviews by writing interview thank you notes. Not only is this a nice thing to do, it also is helpful for your successful job search. Those who feel they are appreciated will be more likely to remember you and further help you in your job application and recommend you to others. Be sure to restate your interest in the job and emphasize your qualifications. This letter should also be sent out within 24 hours of completing the interview.

In the first paragraph, thank the interviewer for taking the time to interview you. Cite the date on which you interviewed and personalize your letter. Hopefully, you have already received an email from the interviewer before the phone interview, so you should have the interviewer's name. But if not, you can ask the interviewer during the phone interviewer.

In the second paragraph, restate you interest in the position and point out some of your most important qualifications based on what you learned through the interview. You can also highlight your relevant skills that you forgot or did have time to mention during the phone interview.

In the last paragraph, once again, express your appreciation for the phone interview and affirm your interest in the position and the company.

The following is a sample interview thank you note after phone interview:

Ms. Janet Jackson
Director of Human Resources
XYZ Company
567 Central St
Los Angels, CA 90012

Dear Ms. Jones:

Thank you for taking the time yesterday to discuss the Software Engineer position at XYZ company. As you requested, I have enclosed my resume for your review and consideration.

My background includes extensive experience in the full life cycle of software design process including requirements definition, prototyping, proof of concept, design, interface implementation, testing, and maintenance. I'm familiar with financial software products and have also led a team of three researchers in the past two years.

I suggest a personal interview to discuss further my qualifications, I can be reached at 797-8865345, so that we may arrange a mutually convenient time to meet. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.
