Mom's lessons

Always say, "Thank you" after an interview.

This may seem like a topic that doesn't need to be discussed, but it surprises me how many interviewees forget to do it.  Most people give a small means of appreciation and walk out of the office, or other interview location without a second thought to anything more.


When you get home that day, take five minutes to sit down and write a two sentence thank you card that can be mailed to that interviewer.  Just thank them for their time and the opportunity to meet with you.  That's all.

Very few job applicants write these, and this small act might get your application that second look that it needs or even solidify you for the position itself.

There is nothing else that takes this insignificant amount of time that helps this much.  So, why not do it?
