Most of us who have gone out to interviews, after getting home just wait for the big fat letter from the FIRM to come with its offer.

In this buyer's market that we are experiencing now, with more job applicants than job openings, you can improve your chance of receiving a fat letter by writing a simple letter thanking your host(s). This letter can some time make a difference between a thin letter (NO thank you) and a fat letter (YES and here are the benefits) since

1. it recalls you to the interviewer and reinforce a positive impression 2. it convinces the interviewer that he/she has made a positive impression with you

3. it provides an opportunity to compensate for any negative elements in your interview.
