Compose and email to me using alvacc@nwtech.edu as the email you are sending it to.  This email is to be composed as a thank you for the interview letter using the sample job and information as you did for the cover letter. The email needs to be at least two paragraphs with at least three sentences per paragraph. Some things to include in the email: position that you applied for, what you liked about the company and/or position, why you would be a good employee for the company and or a good fit for this position, any experiences or training that makes you a good candidate for the job, etc. Add your email address to the bcc portion of the email (ask me if you need help).

It’s important to keep your thank-you message short and focused. Most people skim email, so you want to be brief and to the point. Your email message should include:

• Subject (Your Name – Thank You)
• Greeting
• First paragraph (thank you for the interview, what you have to offer the employer)
• Second paragraph (offer to answer any questions, looking forward to hearing from you)
• Signature (include your wider contact information (phone, Skype ID, LinkedIn URL, etc.) , so it’s easy for them to respond)
