1 THANK YOU ETIQUETTE: Sample letters, notes, and s Prepared by the Office of Career Services Copyright 2008 by Northeastern University School of Law. All Rights Reserved.
2 Frequently Asked Questions: Thank-You Notes to Employers Q: When are thank you notes appropriate? A: Thank you notes are never inappropriate. You should always write a thank you note after any interview you have for a post-graduate job, fellowship, clerkship or volunteer opportunity. 1 Thank you letters should be brief and sent as soon as possible after your interview. Q: When should I send a thank you note? A: Send the note as soon as possible after the interview waiting too long almost negates the purpose. Q: Do I write a handwritten note, an or a typed letter? A: The form your thank you note should take really depends on your style and relationship with the employer. Generally, thank you letters should be word processed on 8 1/2" x 11" heavy bond paper and should follow proper business format. Some employers feel that a thank you note sent via is sufficient, while others feel that a letter sent through snail mail is more appropriate. You may also choose to handwrite a thank you on note paper or note cards if you know the employer personally, but should probably only do so if your handwriting is neat and legible. No matter what form you choose to send the note in, there are three must-dos in every thank you note: Personalize the note: Be specific in the note and mention a topic that you spoke with your interviewer about. Make sure that if you send multiple notes to different attorneys with the same employer each note does not sound the same; Double check that all names are spelled correctly; Check that there are no other misspellings or errors. Q: I participated in the on-campus interviews (OCI) program for the summer associate recruitment process this summer and had 12 first-round interviews. Do I have to write a thank-you note for each interview? A: Many recruiters from firms that participate in the OCI program feel that it is not expected or necessary for you to send thank you notes after first-round interviews. Q: I had six call-back interviews to firms with whom I interviewed for the OCI/Summer Associate process. To whom (or which firms) do I write thank you notes? A: You should always write a thank you note for call-back interviews during the OCI process. You can write a note to everyone you met at the firm, or write only to one key person and ask that your thanks be passed on to the other people with whom you met. Perhaps write the 1
3 Hiring Partner, thank them for meeting with you and arranging your visit to the firm. In addition, you should name the other individuals with whom you met and indicate that you enjoyed meeting with them: Please convey my thanks to Ms. Smith, Mr. Jones and Ms. Washington as well I really enjoyed meeting them. Q: I had an interview three days ago and have already heard from the employer that I did not get the job. Do I still write a thank-you note? A: Generally if you have already been rejected from an interview it is not necessary to write a thank you note. However, the legal community is small, and at this point in your career it is important to develop contacts, so you may decide you want to write a note anyway. Please feel free to contact the Career Services Office with any further questions. 2
