Thank You Letter Tips

1. Keep your letter simple and focused.
2. Single space your letter and leave space between each paragraph.
3. Left justify your letter.
4. Use a plain font like Arial, or Times New Roman.
5. Select a font size of 10 or 12 points.
6. The first paragraph of your letter should thank the hiring manger for taking the time to interview you.
7. The second paragraph or the thank you letter should include the reasons why your are a strong candidate for a position. List specific skills that relate to the job you got interviewed for.
8. If there  is information about your qualifications that you wish you had mentioned during the interview but didn't get a chance to discuss, use the next paragraph to do so.

There are many more tips, but I thought I'd just give you a few! 

Dressing for an Interview

Well, you shouldn't wear bright colors or have bright colors on your nails. Here are some tips for what to wear on an interview.

Women's Interview Attire

• Solid color, conservative suit
• Coordinated blouse
• Moderate shoes
• Limited jewelry
• Neat, professional hairstyle
• Tan or light hosiery

Here are some tips on what not to wear.

What Not to Wear on a Job Interview

• Jeans.
• Skirts that are too short.
• Pants that are too low-rise or too tight.
• Blouses that are too low-cut or too short - don't show your cleavage or your belly.
