Join career expert, motivator, and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita as he discusses how to write a thank you that gets you hired.\n\nThere are typically four challenges:\n\n1) How to thank the employer\n\n2) When to thank the employer\n\n3) What to say in the thank-you\n\n4) What medium to use (handwritten, email).\n\nThere are two most important aspects of the thanking process.\n\nThere are two keys you need to know about thanking somebody to make it effective: speed and thoughtfulness.\n\nSpeed is how quickly you respond to them after your interview. I recommend 24 hours.\n\nThoughtfulness is the level of effort and care you put into the words you place into the thank-you. What messages are you're sending?\n\nYou realize three benefits when you thank the employer.\n\nThere are three benefits of writing a thank-you.\n\n1) You Get To Thank Them: Whenever youre preparing your thank-you note, you should open with thank you so much for your time and I really enjoyed meeting you.\n\n2) You Get To Sell Yourself: Right after you thank them, add your own unique identifier. Put in your sales pitch. Reinforce why you're the best candidate for the job and why youre such a great fit.\n\n3) You Get To Reassure the Employer Youre Interested: The third benefit is to reassure the employer of your enthusiasm and interest in the position.\n\nFor a complete summary, detailed transcript, fun quote cards, and more related to this episode,
