How to Write Thank You Emails After Interviews to Stay Connected (7 Templates Examples!)
As a job candidate, it’s important to maintain a good impression anytime you meet a potential employer. For job candidates lucky enough to land an interview, sending a thank you email after virtual interviews (phone, Zoom etc) is vital to maintaining a positive impression during the hiring process. It’s also an excellent way to ensure you remain in the hiring manager’s and recruiter’s good graces as a future candidate if you don’t land the first job you interviewed for with the organization.
Taking the time to send a thank you email is a gesture that reinforces your professional etiquette as well as your interest in the job. Since many initial interviews are done virtually today, you’ll likely find you need to send a thank you email after Zoom interviews or some other type of virtual interview platform.
Thank You Email Structure
- Subject line
- Personalized greeting
- Note of appreciation
- Brief recap of qualifications
- Prompt for the next step
- Closing Signature
- Contact Information
Below we provide tips and templates for thank you emails to send after various interview types, including Zoom, phone, and in-person interviews.
You can also submit your resume to get connected with an Advantis Global recruiter to get matched with a job that fits your needs. Get a head start on interviewing with the support of our specialized staffing agency.
Subject Lines for After Interview Thank You Emails
Emails provide immediate correspondence for the often fast-paced hiring process, whereas standard mail through the postal service does not.
For email thank you letters, a subject line that indicates the purpose of the email should be included. Appropriate subject lines for a thank you email after Zoom interviews include:
- Thank you for meeting with me
- Thank you for the interview
- Great to meet you
- Nice to meet you
- Thanks for meeting with me
