You probably did not expect it, but people who share the
same faith,
beliefs or hobbies may also help you with finding a job. You
may have a different career from theirs, but they might know somebody
who is in the same field or will be able to help you in your career.
However, depending on your level of association with them, they may
think twice about giving their opinion or thoughts about their
contacts. Their opinion can sometimes help you in making a
strategy on how to approach and ask for help from their contacts.
* People who sell you things
You may think that your relationship with these people is purely based
on trading goods and services, then paying for them. However,
people who sell you things are also sources of information when
networking.
Since these people sell their goods to different types of persons, they
may have associated with somebody who belongs to the same field as you
do, or have heard information about your target job from their other
clients.
These people will also be happy to help you, since they know that
maintaining a pleasant relationship with you means a stable
business. |

Can
it be handwritten or should it be typewritten?
Actually, it does not matter. What's important is the thought
of doing it. It must be tailored to your prospective company
and the officer who made the interview. Thus, respect is
further established. However, if the company, interviewer or
the position being applied calls for a formal business letter, then do
so. Mostly, a handwritten note is okay if the interviewer and
the applicant have built rapport.
Will it be okay to e-mail the thank you note?
First thoughts indicate that this is a big NO. However, it
depends on the company's culture. If the people in the
company use e-mail in all of their communication and correspondence,
then it should be acceptable. This will also apply if the
company is into fast decision making when hiring applicants.
Always remember that even if e-mails fit in with the culture of the
company, it's still a better idea to follow up the email with a hard
copy of your thank you. |
