Thank you notes create a very favorable impression and are powerful remembrances of you. When you've been advised that you weren't the successful candidate on a job, express disappointment in the decision, reinforce your continued interest in gaining employment in the company, and thank them for the opportunity you had to meet them and discuss your background with them.

Dear _______________:

I really appreciate the time and interest you gave me Tuesday. Our discussion was both helpful and inspiring for me.

Job search in this competitive market is challenging, to say the least. Your feedback and leads have given me renewed optimism.

I've already contacted John Ormsky at National Energy, as you suggested. We have a meeting scheduled for Friday.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Billy The Kid's Brother
