As you take the time to reflect and give thanks this week, consider the power of gratitude and how you can apply it to your search. Taking the time to call and say thanks, to write a thank you card, or to simply send out an email can make all the difference. Here are some ideas of good times to say thank you (keeping in mind – it is almost always a good time to say thanks):

1. Thank the employer in your cover letter – for their time and consideration.

2. Thank anyone (verbally) who takes the time to interview you on the phone or in person.

3. Send a thank you card to employers after an in person interview. Thank them for their time, tell them briefly about why you are excited for the position: ie: “Thank you for your time. Your “name of position” role is so exciting to me because….”
4. Thank anyone who offers you advice, contacts, or leads in your search. A card to this person could keep you top of mind the next time some great opportunity comes their way.

Do you have any best practices for sharing a good “thank you” note – feel free to share them below! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and Go Jobing!
