Cover Letter Preparation - Thank You Letters
After
any interview (informational, full-time employment, graduate school, internship,
or summer job) it is extremely important to send a thank you letter to the
person(s) with whom you interviewed. When used to follow up on employment
interviews, thank you letters should be sent within 24 hours to everyone who
interviewed you. In your thank you letter, you should:
-
Remark

person(s) who you are.

Indicate why and when you met.

Reiterate
your enthusiasm and continued interest in the field or
position.
