How To Say Thank You After A Job Interview by SyberKate(f): 5:49am On Feb 26, 2017
Writing a Interview thank you note after an employment interview can be the key to getting a job offer. In these days of e-mail and online communication, is it appropriate to send thank you letters by email?

In most cases, yes.
You can get your thank you letter out immediately, rather than having to wait for the postal service to deliver it. If the employer is making a quick hiring decision, time is of the essence.

If there is no sense of urgency, you may still want to send a quick email thank you, along with a traditional letter or note. You’ll be reiterating your interest in the position sooner rather than later.

What to Include in Your Interview Thank You Email Message
In addition to thanking the person you talked with, the thank you note reinforces the fact that you want the job. Use your letter to address any issues and concerns that came up during the interview.

You can also view the thank you as a follow-up “sales” letter. In other words, restate why you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make significant contributions, and so on.

This letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask or that you neglected to answer as thoroughly, or as well, as you would have liked. Keep in mind though, that the thank you note should be brief and to the point.

A couple of brief paragraphs are sufficient.

Bruv u lost out cos u didn't do 'enough' in the interview, not cos of some dumb email not sent #simple


These tips rarely work, believe me... to get ahead u need to establish a 'connection' with d interviewers + the chaperone (handlers) too.(if u paddy paddy the person well u could even exchange numbers)

I.e the interviewer should 'remember' you, this is achieved by being relaxed yet professional not rigid like someone holding poop
grin

Example: I met someone & while gisting about an interview we had with a particular top 4 nigerian bank (at different periods) he exclaimed chaii that woman tough o, and I was like she's alright... we shared laughs and even talked family...he was stunned cos he didn't cross over n complained she kept hammering him tough Q's.

when leaving I always say 'thank you ma, thank you sir, enjoy the rest of your day / have a good day.

I also try to add some comedy when answering Q's, not straight forward q's so as to break the ice... trust me if u can get ur panel members laughing Ehn!

They'll even forget about the tough Q's or pardon any mistakes u make u make when answering.

in interviews you need one of or both these two things:
1- high intellect or 2- loving personality

Why? Cos interviews are all subjective.


Stop beating yourself up bruv

You are on point.

Especially being at ease with a good sense of humour and making the interviewers laff but not laffing off your stupidity o.

Please also try looking good, smiling often and appear composed.

The truth is the most brilliant person doesn't always get picked but the best conversationalist does. So learn communication skills to boost your chances.

No need of writing note, just say it right there, when I got my job that was what I did immediately after the last question I stood up and thank them for the opportunity they gave me to attend the interview, three days later they called me for the job.

This is the biggest crap I've read about getting a job. Thank you letters won't do jack for you!

You need to realize that organizations would rather beg qualified people who they believe can add value to their establishment than to employ on the basis of pitiful politeness.

My advice to any Job seeker out there is for you to have enough qualifications, keep developing yourself and make sure you never appear too desperate when looking for a job. Recruiters are psychologists, be smart.
