A common theme has been arising in drop ins lately: SUMMER INTERNSHIPS.
It
is great to see that many students are actively searching and applying
for summer internships that will add to their resume experience! Many
students are coming in for a resume review for that ideal summer
internship, some are coming in for a cover letter review, a few for
interviewing tips, and one student came in for a review on his THANK YOU LETTER!
Thank you letters are a small detail but a very important part of your
job search process, nonetheless. Unfortunately, following up with a
thank you letter does not get done as often as it should. It is
imperative that you send a thank you letter soon after every interview,
especially if you want to be remembered in a more positive way. In fact,
many employers have stated that they will hire the person who sent the
thank you letter over the person who did not.
The preferred method to send a thank you letter is as a greeting-card
style in your own hand writing sent via snail mail. A thank you e-mail
may be acceptable in certain situations though, when your handwriting is
not legible or it simply slipped your mind to send the card and more
than a week has passed.
Here is a sample on what to include in a thank you letter.
And as always, you are more than welcome to come in to a drop in for us to help you review your thank you letter.
Good Luck!
