After you’ve developed networks, created a winning resume, or nailed that job interview, your work is still not finished! Follow-up letters show your continued interest in an individual, position, or organization.

Types of follow-up letters:

• Thank You Letter
• Acceptance Letter
• Declining Offer Letter
• Response to a Rejection Letter

Individually prepare and send follow-up letters within 24-48 hours of a meeting, interview, conversation, or receipt of letter. Keep it brief — one or two short paragraphs in length — and personalize each letter.

Send follow-up letters to anyone who has:

• Interviewed you for employment
• Referred you to employers or networking contacts
• Offered you a position
• Rejected you for employment
• Provide you with general information
• Written a recommendation for you
