Sample Thank You Note

Thank you letters are more important than you may think. It is a great way to let employers know that you appreciated the time they took to meet and interview you. Thank-you letters can also re-emphasize your strengths and skills. State your interest in the job and highlight elements of your background that seem relevant. Also, be sure to mention factors that impressed you about the job, department or company.  (Don't forget to also follow-up with any additional information requested by the interviewer!)

Dear Dr. Suess:

I want to thank you for the time you and your staff spent with me yesterday to discuss the Research Technician III position in your laboratory. I am very impressed with the research you are conducting on green eggs and ham, particularly the genetic research. I believe that my skills and interest in molecular genetics would be an asset to your research. As we discussed, I worked for two years at N.C. State University doing similar research on peanut butter and jelly under the supervision of Dr.Yam and believe that experience would be helpful in starting up a new program such as the one you had mentioned. This is the kind of opportunity I have been looking for in the research field.

As requested, I have enclosed a copy of my transcript verifying my coursework in molecular biology and organic chemistry. I also have some letters of recommendation from prior employers if you should need more information about my skills and experience.

Again, I want to thank you for the opportunity to talk to you in more detail about the Research Technician III position. Please let me know if you need any additional information. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Bobby Miller
