5 Templates For Emailing Thank You Notes After An Interview
With the current state of employment, it’s more important than ever to standout before, during, and after an interview. One of the best ways to standout after an interview is to send a Thank You Note.
Writing a Thank You Note leaves the potential employer with a good impression and is a last chance to show your interest and restate your qualifications.
It use to be the standard to give a handwritten Thank You Note, but nowadays with so much of the hiring process going digital, emailing your Thank You Note is much more efficient.
In this article, I am sharing 5 templates for you to quickly and easily edit so you can get your Thank You Note out within 24 hours of your interview.

Here are the basics of what you should include in a Thank You Note:
