Why it’s important
Writing a thank you note after a job interview makes you look like a well-mannered person, and it leaves a positive impression on you as a person. Notes like these can prove useful too. For example, if you forgot to mention something during an interview, you can easily add what you forgot in the note. Writing a thank you note after a job interview can determine if you get a job or not, and it helps the interviewer get to know you more. According to monster.com, “Three out of four job seekers don’t even bother sending a thank-you note after an interview, according to a recent Accountemps survey of human resources (HR) managers. The survey found that only 24% of HR managers receive thank-you notes from applicants. However, 80% of HR managers say thank-you notes are helpful when reviewing candidates. “
