THANK YOU NOTE

В США и Европе наряду с сопроводительными письмами широко используется практика написания писем благодарности от соискателя после собеседования – thank you note. Неважно. Было собеседование удачным или нет, предвидится второй раунд или нет, Вы должна написать максимально искреннее и вежливое письмо своему интервьюеру. 

Подобное письмо не только поможет обратить на себя внимание работодателя и усилить положительное впечатление, но и позволит добавить важную информацию или высказать мнения о вопросах, обсуждавшихся на собеседовании.

Таким образом, после окончания собеседования обязательно уточните точное имя собеседника, его контакты или возьмите визитную карточку. Thank you note должно быть составлено по правилам ведения деловой переписки на английском языке и отправлено факсом или по электронной почте.
И самое главное – поблагодарите в конце своего интервьюера за потраченное время. Можете поблагодарить даже дважды. Как говорится, it’s not overkill to say thanks again.

Dear Dr. Kresgee: 

I'd like to thank you for talking with me about the research- assistant position in your seismology lab. I truly appreciate all the time and care you took in telling me about the job and learning more about me. 

I'm so pleased that you agree that my senior research project in seismology provides me with excellent experience for this position. I am eager to bring my passion for seismology to the research-assistant position, and I am convinced the knowledge and experience I've already cultivated make me the best researcher for the job. 

I very much look forward to learning of your decision soon. Please feel free to contact me if you need more information about my qualifications. 
Thank you again for the exhilarating interview. 

Sincerely, 
John Oakley

Dear Ms. Nessen: 

I want to thank you for taking the time to interview me yesterday for the position of assistant director of the Dayton Sumner Memorial Art Museum. You, Mr. Dawson, and Dr. Acquino exuded warmth, and I know we could all have an excellent working relationship. 

As I further studied the job description for the position, I grew even more confident that I could take the museum to new heights of success. With the resources I've gathered, I am ready to hit the ground running with grant-writing. The 15 percent bonus for grants brought in is an excellent incentive, and I would devote a significant portion of my time to this important venture. I also have a number of great ideas for community and media relations and am excited by your interest in bringing more schoolchildren to the museum. 

As I mentioned when we met, I would like to use my fine arts degree and journalism minor to enhance the museum's identity while at the same time meeting the needs and expectations of the community. I believe I can make a significant contribution to the fundraising effort, and I am particularly interested in exploring a corporate donor program. 

I am convinced I could bring a new degree of organization to the museum, including sinking my teeth into making the workspace far less chaotic and far more functional. More importantly, I'd like to get communications on track so that newsletters and invitations are sent out on a timely basis. I have some ideas for making the newsletter more user-friendly. I feel it is extremely important to maintain close communication between the board and director, and I am committed to doing so. 
Ms. Nessen, I thank you again for considering me for this position. I look forward to the possibility of working with you. 

Sincerely, 
John Oakley
