Writing a ‘Thank You Letter” for Jobs in Nigeria

A thank you e-mail is a powerful tool anyone can use to boost their chances of getting a job.

This mail is normally sent as soon as possible after an important interview.

A thank you letter is not just a courtesy tool. It is more importantly a means to connect with your employer.

It re –emphasizes your interest in the job and can dramatically improve your chances of being employed.

 

Here's a simple format to guide you in writing a 'thank you' letter:

Paragraph 1 - Thank the interviewer for the opportunity.

Paragraph 2 - Sell yourself by reminding the hiring manager of your qualifications. Here, you can add key information you forgot during the interview.

Paragraph 3 - Express your deep interest in the job. You can ease any reservations the interviewer might have expressed during the interview.

Lastly, make sure your letter is customized and not a general one. In fact, we would recommend this mainly for very important jobs. So, you don't have to prepare a generic 'thank you' letter for every job.
