00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.664
If you want to help increase
your chances with the

00:00:02.699 --> 00:00:06.457
interviewer, make the time to
follow up after the interview.

00:00:06.492 --> 00:00:10.437
Typically, only about 25 per
cent of job candidates do so.

00:00:10.472 --> 00:00:13.484
Within a day or two of the
interview, follow up the

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.283
interview with a brief letter
thanking the interviewer again

00:00:16.318 --> 00:00:19.009
for their time and repeat that
you would like to hear from

00:00:19.044 --> 00:00:20.567
them as soon as possible.

00:00:20.602 --> 00:00:23.552
Reaffirm your interest in the
company and the position, and

00:00:23.587 --> 00:00:25.687
answer any questions that were
left open at the end of the

00:00:25.722 --> 00:00:26.425
interview.

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:30.959
Use the same kind of paper,
envelope and font as you chose

00:00:30.994 --> 00:00:33.420
for your resume, cover letter
and reference page.

00:00:33.455 --> 00:00:37.158
This letter of thanks provides
you with an excuse to contact

00:00:37.193 --> 00:00:38.703
the interviewer again and
to provide any

00:00:38.938 --> 00:00:39.888
information that may help

00:00:39.923 --> 00:00:41.777
the company to decide
in your favor.

00:00:41.811 --> 00:00:45.073
If an interviewer is torn
between you and another

00:00:45.108 --> 00:00:47.866
candidate, your follow up letter
will likely help the company

00:00:47.901 --> 00:00:50.038
decide in your favor.
