According to surveys with employers, only 4-5 out of 10 job seekers send a thank-you letter, and often that follow-up has meant the difference between being hired and not being hired for two very similar candidates. Although emailed thank-you notes have become more acceptable, employers appear toprefer mailed thank-you letters. A typical thank-you note will look like this:  \n1st paragraph: Thank the employer for their time interviewing you.  \n2nd paragraph: Tell the employer how excited you are about the job and how you would be a  \ngood fit: talk about how you will contribute to their business and what you propose to do.  \n3rd paragraph: Tell the employer where you can be reached and that you look forward to hearing from them soon.  \nSAMPLE THANK-YOU LETTER:  \n============================================================================  \nJANE SMITH  \n1701 Broadway Avenue East  \nSeattle, WA 98122  \n(206) 555-1234  \nJanuary 10, 2002  \nMr. Brian Johnson  \nManager, Human Resources  \nAllison Fay Productions  \n9876 Main Street, Suite 200  \nBellevue, WA 98004  \nDear Mr. Johnson:  \nI would like to thank you for the opportunity to interview with you yesterday for the position of Administrative Assistant.
