Should I write a thank you letter after a phone interview?

Its preferred you do that,in the letter also mention how much you respect the company and the work it is doing and you are hopeful of getting a response from them soon..but dont make it into a essay ...a few lines will suffice..\n\nI found this on the net...\n\nview Your Thank You Letters as Sales Letters\n\nYou may also view your thank you letters as follow-up "sales" letters. In other words, you can restate why you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make significant contributions, and so on. This thank you letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask or that you neglected to answer as thoroughly, or as well, as you would have liked. \n\neg:\n\nYour Name\nYour Address\nYour City, State, Zip Code\nYour Phone Number\nYour Email\n\nDate\n\nName\nTitle\nOrganization\nAddress\nCity, State, Zip Code\n\nDear Mr./Ms. Last Name:\n\nI wanted to say "Thank You" for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to me about the Senior Programmer Analyst position with XXX Company. I appreciate your time and consideration in interviewing me for this position.\n\nAfter speaking with you and the group, I do feel that I would be a perfect candidate for this position, offering the quick learning and adaptability that is needed for a diversified position.\n\nIn addition to my enthusiasm for performing well, I would bring the technical and analytical skills necessary to get the job done.\n\nI am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you once the final decisions are made regarding this position.\nPlease feel free to contact me at anytime if further information is needed. My cell phone number is (555) 111-1111.\n\nThank you again for your time and consideration.\n\nSincerely,\n\nYour Signature\n\nYour Typed Name \n\nHope it was of some help ..good luck with your interview result :)

If that is the exact wording you used, it sounds unprofession and too casual/friendly and you might not get a call back. "Hi" is far too casual, on a call like that you should say "hello". Also, remember that these people more than likely have very busy days and saying just "so if you could give me a call back..." sounds a bit like you are taking too much for granted and not appreciating their time. It also sounds a bit vague. Something like, "if you have a few minutes where you could give me a call back with some information about this career field it would be greatly appreciated." and always end with "thank you for your time." because you have already taken up some of their time by making them listen to the message. \n\nThis might sound way too formal but being as polite and formal as possible will get you some brownie points and make you look more appealing (old saying, you get more flies with honey than you do vinegar). I worked at a job where I screened calls and the ones that sounded like you described didn't impress me and I was also always asked what my impression was of people. \n\nAnother thing you might want to look into is asking at the employment security office. While they mainly do unemployment claims, the people in these offices are extremely knowledgable about career fields and are there to help you. I have used them as a resource before and have gotten immense and valuable help.

If it's the best answer, complement the answer itself.\nIf it actually helped, say thank you.\nIf it's a random choice, it deserves a random response ;-)

Writing a sincere note/letter would make their day. It did to my boss. It shows them that you really appreciate what they did for you. If you want to include a little something, go to the school book store and I am sure you can find something small with the school's name to include. Something they can keep on their desk in their office like a mug would be a nice small thank you gift. Keep in touch with them telling them of your progress. They in turn will no doubt write back to you giving you any support you may need. A gift caard can get used up and forgotten about. Let them be able to remember you and say to themselves "I am glad I am a teacher." .

It all depends on the interview...if you felt it went well, there is a good possibility. What they are trying to tell you is that you may not have all of the things they are looking for and if no one else comes forward with better qualifications then they will probably call you.\nBest thing for yo to do is continue to look for work, if someone wants you really bad, they will hire you on the spot, but still interview. \nYou can also do a check up call.\nCheck with them and see if they have hired someone, let them know that u r really interested in the job, also it doesn't hurt to send them a thank you note whether you get the job or not, to let them know you appreciate their  interest in you. Because if they hire someone else and it doesn't work out, then you have your foot further in the door...\n\nGood Luck

It is more professional to let them know and they might appreciate ite more. Let them know as far in advance as possible ans explain the situation. If you write them back be sure you write professionally

Good for you.  You at least realize that good manners and breeding lead to better offers and jobs.\n\nIn answer to your question, it depends.  The last question you should ask in the interview is, "When might I expect the decision on the next step to be made."  This shows business maturity and will give you a timetable for thank yous.  \n\nIf they will make the decision within a day or two, send your thank you by email.   Presentation should be business formal and spell check should be used twice!\n\nIf the decsion is 3 or more days out, go to your car, write your thank you note, and drop it in the mail right then.\n\nI can tell you that I have almost never hired anyone who neglected to send my a thank you.  If you do not have the business sense to do this most simple of things, I do not want you representing my company to my customers.\n\nGood luck!

I agree with the first poster.  It may take a week or even more for them to get back to you.  I suggest following up with them one week after your interview if you have not heard back.  Be persistent, but allow them some time to come to a decision.  For example, the only way, I would wait less or longer than a week is if they told you they would come to a decision within a few days.  If so, then call after a few days.\n\nI got offered my current job one month after I interviewed in person!  So you never know how long it might take, honestly.  Just be sure to reiterate your interest until you get some type of response.\n\nI believe it would still be legal to work until 11:30pm, as far as I know.  But, you will be limited to a certain amount of hours you can work each week since you are 16.\n\nBest of luck.

If your job is so great, I would reconsider leaving. Thank you notes are very nice though, I have never heard of that.

With gratitude. Give them as many compliments as possible first - what a wonderful company, what a dream job, how great they are, and how lucky would you be if you took the offer. And then just say - no, thank you. Don't feel guilty, don't give countless apologies, or explanations. "Not at this time", "My family situation.." Just be sincere, and grateful. Leave THEM feel good about themselves and leave a good last impression.

I think it's great that you really...really, really, really appreciate what a medic did for you.  A thank you letter goes a long way, we rarely get them so when someone writes one it's noticed.  If you want to go the extra mile write to your local paper (opinion page, letter to the editor, things like that) and mention how you liked the service, don't go in too much detail just say thanks and they're doing' a great job.  We rarely get mentioned in papers, if we do it's usually bad news.\n     Anything further than that gets a little creepy, especially if you don't know the person.  Don't think for a second that a small thank you isn't a big deal.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it!",  Is the more correct form of the statement.  Keep in mind, "Thank you, I really appreciate it!" is a relatively formal phrase.  For more relaxed circumstances a number of other, briefer comments would be equally appropriate.  \nFor example:  \n\nThanks\nThank you\nThanks a lot\nThanks much\n\nAnd dozens more could be sited.  "Thanks or Thank you" is quite appropriate in almost any informal setting, like a conversation with friends on the street or at the mall, or a comment made in a letter or an email.\n\nFrom reading your question I think you are doing well.  This is an excellent place to ask the type of question you asked.  I do have one suggestion.  Use either an exclamation point (!) or a question mark (?) but not both.  From my experience either of the following would be considered more correct.\n\nI'm studying English,help me!\nI'm studying English,can anyone help me? \n\nThe differences are minor, and maybe not worth mentioning but you may as well learn it correctly.  A bad habit is hard to break.\n\nKeep working, you're doing great.  Feel free to contact me if you have other questions.

No, because it would be viewed as an afterthought.  It would be nice to write out a heartfelt thank you.\n\nWait a week or two before you reciprocate.
