<p>so i just had my interview two days ago and i realized that i have not yet sent the ec a thank you email</p>
<p>and then i realized i dont know how to write onee</p>
<p>i know its supposed to be personal but the interview itself was a fail and we didn't really connect at all, but i still want to write a thank you</p>
<p>please help!!</p>
<p>(i need examples of what you guys sent or what to write or w/e)</p>
<p>I’m a professor at a liberal arts college, and here are the sorts of email thank-you notes I appreciate:</p>
<p>Minimal but effective: “Thank you for taking the time to meet with me on [date] to discuss my application to [program]. Sincerely, [name]”</p>
<p>Informative and effective: “Thank you for taking the time to meet with me on [date] to discuss my application to [program]. I particularly enjoyed learning about [insert]. Based on our conversation, I’m more convinced than ever that I’m a match for your program. I think I could benefit from [program offering] and I also believe I could add [brief statement of some quality or skill set]. Sincerely, [name]”</p>
<p>Personally, I’m always happy to receive the minimal note, though it’s sometimes interesting to read a more informative follow-up. Whatever you do, keep it brief and light.</p>
