I want to send them Thank you letter and Thank you card:
Thank you letter鈥擳ype Thank you letter. (Business formal)
Thank you card鈥擧and written in cute little Thank you card.
What do you think of the ideas? Any advice and suggestion?Thank you card/letter. 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I would send a hand written card to both, that would be two cards. choose a card that is informal, creative and is some how related to you, with your favorite color on it or an art picture tha depicts your personality.
for example I live in Miami and I work in Miami Beach, I would send a colorful and fun card that is hand written. I suggest you follow suit with what you saw at the company, that also reflects you. and do it today, do not wait. the longer you wait the easier it is for the company to select someone else.
Also in the assistant's card you might want to mention something that she/he did, like thank you for your hard work in arranging this meeting, or what ever applies.Thank you card/letter. 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I think just a card would be the best idea. Address it to both of them, and just say stuff like ';thank you for the opportunity to interview with you';...';It was great talking with you';...';I am very excited about the work environment';...';I feel I would be a great asset to your company'; - Things like that make you seem friendly and grateful, but not too formal, like they have already perceived you to be.
Good luck with getting the job!
I would probably just send an e-mail thanking them for the opportunity to meet with them. If they said you were very formal and business oriented for a casual environment, I wouldn't necessarily go with a business letter. On the other hand, even though it was a casual interview I still wouldn't send a handwritten thank you card, as it may be too casual. Remember that you are still up for a position here, not just trying to be lifelong friends with the interviewer.
Hope this helps! Best of luck to you!! :)
I've never heard of anyone doing this, but it could be that we're from different countries so don't let that put you off doing it.
It's an interesting idea and if you feel it is appropriate then by all means send one, but I'd go for the handwritten one if they think you're formal as it is. Typed is very formal and actually comes across as not as personal. I don't like getting printed Christmas cards for instance because anyone could have sent it (not as much thought goes into it).
Good luck with the job, I hope you get it.
I'm not sure if you should send one to be honest. They might think you are being pushy. Although, they may find it nice. It's not something I've ever thought of doing but it could be seen as a nice gesture.
If you do want to send one, I'd go for the cute card as that shows your fun side after the seriousness of the interview.
Good luck with the job! Hope you get it.
Go to your local pharmacy and pick up a pack of plain but professional looking thank you cards. They usually come 10 per pack.
A thank you card is a must! That's the reason why I got an offer at my previous job. My supervisor actually told me that that was why she hired me since not too many ppl do that anymore. :)
Good luck to you!
card or handwritten letter
but be careful they may see it as if your trying to gain an advantage..it is called soliciting favor and if any other candidate finds out they have a right to go to a ombudsman/tribunal to see if your correspondence did swing the job ...................send the card after they have appointed the person for the post ................
it shows you appreciated their comments and will take them with you for future interviews
or if it's you that gets the post it's always good to send thank-you to show your polite and well mannered having looked in DeBretts a thank you letter hand written should be one week to 10 days after the event......................... one can not argue with DeBretts
First, I'm so glad to see that some people have the good sense to be etiquette aware. It makes life so much nicer! You should ALWAYS send a letter after an interview. If you want the job, this reaffirms that. If you don't, you should say so in the letter.
Cutesy cards should never be sent for business situations. You can send a formal card if you wish, but a letter is still the accepted way of addressing a business event. It is important that you don't confuse a laid back company with an unprofessional one. If you start sending cutesy cards, the employer will likely see you are either unprofessional yourself OR that you don't feel the company is worthy of respect. However you can lighten a serious business thank you letter with sentiment.
You should ONLY address the letter to the senior person. Sending two letters creates the impression that you don't understand corporate hierarchy. But you can mention the other person in the letter.
You might say something like:
Thank you for your time on Tuesday. I enjoyed meeting you both and learning more about the company and the position. I am very interested in the coordinator position. I have enjoyed gaining experience in a formal corporate setting. But I have long sought a position that would allow me to use this formal experience in a friendly and creative environment. After meeting with you, I am confident that this position would afford me that opportunity.
Something like that. And good luck with the job.
I hope this will help you in your decision on what to choose to do regarding your interview. Do not do two (2) ';thank you'; letters, only one. Two would be overkill. And the Thank you should be in the same format as your resume, the same paper and envelope. However, if they were casual, then make your letter casually professional. If they liked you and are intending on hiring you, their minds are made up when you leave them. The proper thing to do is send a thank you, make sure you do it today. You can let them see your casual little by little, once you start working for them. They may like your professional style and they may be thinking you might be able to contribute some of that to their organization, so don't let go of all of it just yet.
