When writing a thank you letter after an interview, should it be typed or handwritten? |
I know that handwritten seems more personable, but to me it doesn't look very professional. Zoo-B-Cool, I can sincerely appreciate what you expressed on the comparison of hand written vs. typed on the thank you note. Given the fact that these professionals interviewed you "in person" and may or may not be aware of other interviews you "may" or "may not" be attempting - your typed thank you note may give the impression that it was generated automatically with countless others "that you have interviewed with". My suggestion? I recommend the "hand written" note and thanks expressed to each of the individuals in the room (if you can recall their names). Use first names only if you feel confident you scored "high" during the round of discussion, if you are uncertain how your answers were interpreted then use "Mr/Ms", etc. I hope this helps and best of luck on the outcome! Sincerely, Gerry Its not, go for typed, they most likely wont even accept a handwritten one. typed Always type everything, that is the best way of doing things these days. People might think your living back in the 70's or something. Type it and sign your signat. A letter with lousy handwriting is useless. it would look better type than handwritten I think either is fine. I would be more inclined to send a typewritten letter if it were a large company, and a handwritten letter if it were a smaller company where people tend to be more personal with each other. But, for me to send a handwritten one, it would have to be a very small company, and the person I interviewed with would have to be my direct supervisor. If you were only interviewed by HR or the top person in your department, then type it. We receive both and read all. However, the handwritten ones are deemed more personal and are actually appreciated by us more than the typewritten ones (where we know they just changed the address and name on it and reprinted). |
