How to Type a Job Interview Follow-Up Letter
- 1). Select a professional font that is used in most business situations such as Cambria or Times New Roman. Ornate fonts or those with cursive-style writing can be difficult for some people to read. Choose a font size that is easy for the interviewer to read but isn't overly large. A good size font is typically a 12 point.
- 2). Format the letter. The follow up letter can be typed in any word processing program, such as Microsoft Word. To start, format the interviewer's full name so that the text is aligned to the left. On the next line type the interviewer's title. On the next line type the company name. The next two lines should have the full company address as you normally would address an envelope. Then have three or four spaces between the start of your letter and this information. All the other text should also always be aligned left. After the body of the letter, leave enough space for your typed name and a spot for your handwritten signature above it.
- 3). Type a short letter. The letter should be simple and only two or three paragraphs long. These paragraphs should be free of any grammatical errors as they will be a good indicator of your proficiency in writing. In the first paragraph, you should thank the interviewer for the opportunity to be considered for the position. In the second paragraph, reiterate in a sentence or two why you are right for the position. This is also where you can explain any factors that would make you right for the position but weren't mentioned in the interview. You might have a third paragraph where you include the contact information for a reference if you haven't given your references to the interviewer yet.
