Most interviewers expect you to write thank you letters. It's also an effective interviewing strategy.
For example, writing thank you letters:
-
Shows that you are courteous, knowledgeable and professional.
-
Demonstrates your written communication skills.
-
Helps to make you stand out in the minds of the interviewers.
-
Elevates you above competing candidates who didn't bother to write thank you letters.
-
Gives you an opportunity to reinforce your good points.
-
Allows you to include something important you forgot to mention during your interview.
-
Confirms your understanding of topics discussed and helps to avoid misunderstandings.
