Thank You Notes

After you meet employers and make connections at career fairs or networking events, interview for a job or internship, or have an informational interview, send a thank-you note!  It’s a great way to stay connected, show interest, and grow your network!  You can reach out to these connections on LinkedIn, send an email, or possibly call on the phone. Follow the samples below to craft your communications. 

Informational Interview

Hi Stella, 

Thank you for taking the time today to share with me what it is like to work for the Philadelphia Eagles.  Your story and your experience working in the sports industry brought to life everything I have been reading about careers in sports marketing - and dream of every Sunday when I watch the Eagles.   

I will follow up with the two contacts you gave me, and I will keep you informed of my progress as my search proceeds. Thank you again. Go Birds! 

Best, 

Hooter T. Owl
