The Reward of Showing Appreciation Apr 28

The technological age has provided speed and efficiency to the advertising and marketing industry, but this instant gratification has come with a price. The phrase ‘Here today, gone tomorrow’ has never been more accurate, and finding new ways to have staying power is at the top of any brand’s challenge. Applying this attitude to the space of job searching can reap great reward. Within in this new electronic workspace lies a golden opportunity upon which few candidates seize: the display of appreciation and gratitude.

Following up an interview with an email ‘Thank You’ is one of the easiest yet most often neglected procedures in furthering the process toward a job offer. A short email showing appreciation for someone’s time speaks volumes and keeps your name at the top of a prospective hiring agent’s mind.

Be sure to get a business card while interviewing, or contact your recruiter for the title, full name or email address of the person with whom you spoke. Adding a small detail of the face to face conversation within the body of the email creates a personal connection and helps you stand above the pack. A short and thoughtful email takes only a few moments to compose and send but shows follow-up, appreciation and professionalism – an efficient use of time even by today’s breakneck standards.
