The Power of a Simple Thank-You Note

Our moms have always tried to tell us the benefits of good manners. However, you might not have realized that saying “please” and “thank you” might actually help you land a job.

Some may consider the thank-you note as antiquated as the steam engine, but according to Monster, a thank-you note might be the thing that separates you from the rest of the applicant pool. Here are a few reasons why:

• By sending a thank-you note, you show your interviewer common courtesy and respect.
• So few applicants send thank-you notes that you automatically stand out if you do.
• A thank-you note lets you make points you forgot to make in your interview.
• A thank-you note demonstrates your written communication skills.
