Choose reference that can provide the applicant an objective
description and information, teachers, friends, and previous employers
can be willing and honest enough to provide that information.
The application form must be consistent with the resume.
Since many of these employers standardize and gauge the information the
applicant is providing in his application form and resume, these must
be full of complete and honest information.
This will be
their basis when considering to have a one on one interview to see if
what they read is true enough. Arm oneself with positive
strategies and knowledge to get those invitations for interviews come
after you. Remember that this will also be a marketing tool
that any applicant can use for other future job hunting
experience.Since many of these employers standardize and gauge the

So you can just save yourself from
trouble since "anything goes" right?
NO. On the other side of the previous story, there are
prospective applicants who were almost on the verge of being hired but
suddenly hit the skids after sending in a sloppy, ill-fixed thank you
letters, with many typographical errors and misspelled words.
A part of having a good communication skill is being able to write
effectively and companies do not need employees who have to be taught
simple writing skills.
Will a borrowed thank-you letter do?
Yes, borrowing is one thing. But make sure to look at the
basic structure of the letter. Never plagiarize the whole
letter as it may be applicable to the one person but not for the
other. Surely, there are employers who can distinguish a
thank-you note that has been copied or not.
If it was a panel interview should thank you letters be sent to all
interviewers?
Frankly, that's the best. The same letter to each is as
essential as making one for each. All you have to do is edit
some phrases for individuality in case the interviewers would bump in
to each other and compare the notes they received.
How soon should a thank-you note be sent?
The golden rule is to send thank you notes within 24 hours after the
interview.
Will it still be okay to mail the thank you note if the hiring decision
will be made sooner than when the mailed thank you note is received?
Come to think of it, if the mail is too pre-historic for the hiring
decision makers, then find a much speedy way: it can be via e-mail,
fax, express delivery or personal delivery. In fact, if you
have hand delivered the thank you note, it can leave a great
impression. |
