If you have ever wondered how to write a great thank you note, you need to check out the following post over at Brand-Yourself. How To Write a Good Thank You Note outlines each the five major elements that you need to know in order to be successful.
I don’t want to re-hash all of the major points because they deserve to be read at the source and I almost launched into my “why thank you notes are important” speech, but RJ really hit the nail on the head at the end of the piece:

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
I learned sometime ago that only about 15% of job seekers send thank you letters. It could be just the thing to put a candidate over the top.
Good article.
