I Received A Confirmation Letter Via Email Confirming A Job Interview. Should Thank You Letter Be Now Or After The Interview?

It is best to send the thank you letter before the interview.

• Receiving an Interview

When you get a call about showing up for an interview you are able to thank the person right away and accept the job interview. When the interview confirmation letter is sent via email there is anonymity and the person sending the message about a job interview needs to know that you received the email. This requires you to send a response.

• Sending a Response for an Interview

Since the company has been nice enough to provide you with a job interview and they have confirmed the time and place you should also send an acknowledgment letter back via email. This is why you should send a thank you letter before the interview. The thank you letter should state that you are happy for the interview and will be showing up. You should also include phrases such as thanking them for their time and consideration. It shows a professional behavior even before you get into the interview. This tends to impress the individuals doing the interview before they even meet you.

You can send an email or brief letter confirming your job interview now and reinforcing how much you are looking forward to the interview and getting to know more about the company. A proper job interview thank you letter should be sent after the interview.Thank You Letters
