Good intentions may not be enough
When you prepare a thank-you note, beware. Here are three things that you shouldn't forget.
1) Don't apologize for your mistakes
The interview might not have gone as well as you would've liked. However, whatever happened, you shouldn’t call attention to what went wrong. Don’t mention negatives.
Maybe you weren't able to answer a question, or maybe you didn’t remember a name, but you're not going to be able to do anything about it now. The person you met had the chance to assess you, so don’t add any new mistakes – be sure to check your note for errors and typos.
2) Don't ask for anything
Why are you writing the note? To express your gratitude, so don't ask the person for anything else. It might seem that the real reason you're sending the note is to gain an advantage. Also, a thank-you note is not meant to be your sales pitch. Your note would lose its authenticity.
3) Don't be desperate
The hardest part is behind you. Now it is time to be thankful and confident. No one is interested in people who are desperate – not even HR. So send a sincere, professional message and hope for the best.
