[bayarea2010]

I went to an interview today. It went well (atleast I thought it did ). I would like to send out a "thank you" note to the two people that took the time to interview me....the thing is, I have no idea as to how to word it in a professional manner.

Can someone please help me with wording? Thank you SO much!

[Zippy7fo]

some examples...please personalize to your interview..mention how you really fit the organization/position and your skills/experience match with the job descritption...maybe mention something personal the three of you discussed...keep it short sweet but at the same time use it as another opportunity to sell yourself...good luck
