|Karen Fox |Thank you notes in the interview process are crucial. |

|Vanguard/Manager University Relations & Employment Marketing | |

| |Thank you notes are great. It’s really just a way to, to really |

|Algreen Bakasa |express how grateful you are obviously and it makes you stand out. |

|Recent Graduate | |

| |It’s a great way to recap what was talked about and to show how |

|Nathalie Sakimura |interested you are in the organization that you have just met with. I |

|Recent Graduate |think it’s a great way to make that final impact as someone goes away |

| |to make a decision about hiring. |

|Parker Ells |By writing a thank you note, I actually hand wrote it, instead of |

|College Student |typing it out because that kind of gives the person a better feel, you|

| |took the time to say thank you. |

|Bryana Perea |They are relatively pretty easy. You keep them short, sweet, and |

|College Student |simple. And they go a long way. |

|(Karen) |One thing I would say not to do is I have been in situations where I |

| |interview someone and they walk out the door and 30-minutes later I |

|[Graphic: Send The Thank You Note Within One-Two Days] |get a thank you note on my Blackberry. And for me I don’t know if they|

| |had enough time to really reflect, they are just, you know, checking |

| |the box. |

|(Karen) |You might choose email which I think is OK today, I think that is |

|[Graphic: |perfectly acceptable. The written letter, nothing can replace the |

|-Email is Acceptable |written letter. Mention something about the organization that really |

|-Nothing Replaces a Written Letter |made an impression on you. Talk about why you want, why are you are |

|-Highlight Something About The Organization |interested in that opportunity. Make sure you close with a WOW. I |

|-State Why Are You Interested In The Opportunity] |think the thank you letter gives you the ability to do that. |

| |I think the thank you note it allows you to actually communicate in a |

|Jason Botzler |way different than the interview. It’s a different forum, it’s a way |

|Recent Graduate |to show your personal self in that note. |

|[Graphic: Show Your Personal Side] | |

|Sarah Shoemaker |A Thank You Note is your time to be able to show who you are as a |

|Vanguard/Senior Corporate Recruiter |person. So, my biggest advice is don’t let it be generic, especially |

| |if you are meeting with multiple people in a day. Make sure you are |

|[Graphic: |personalizing each thank you note because I guarantee you we are all |

|-Don’t Be Generic |sharing each other’s thank you notes with each other when we are |

|-Personalize Each Letter |calibrating on candidates. So if you are just changing out a name and |

|-Make Yourself Stand Out] |the message reads the same thing you know that person isn’t going to |

| |stand out. |

|Terrell McCray |There are so many candidates that are out there in the job market, I |

|Vanguard/University Relations Manager |think anything that a candidate can do to separate themselves apart |

| |from the other person is just going to be a leg up. What does it take |

| |you a couple of cents in stationery and postage? And it could help tip|

| |the scales in your favor, go for it. |

|Students |:00:08:39 Merci |
