POST INTERVIEW

 

It is important to follow-up each interview with a “thank you” letter. The letter should be short and to the point and addressed to the individual(s) who interviewed you. It should express your appreciation for the interview and may also reiterate pertinent details discussed during the interview. The purpose of the "thank you" letter is to help you stand out in the interviewer's mind.

 

The following is a sample follow-up letter.  You should incorporate events (a tour of the school, meeting students, etc.) and/or topics covered during your interview to personalize the letter.

Dear Dr. Jones,

 

            Thank you for the interview you afforded me yesterday.  Our discussion was most informative and further stimulated my interest in your school.  I am enthused about the possibilities we discussed of incorporating my unique background as a XYZ teacher.
