paper.

 Use five different words to describe you.

how you were successful on that training position\job.

Ex. 5 Interview Assignment

Your task is to interview someone who will better allow you and your group

to produce a more complete final project. The results of your interview will

be presented to the members of the class in the form of a two to three page

memo. Our purpose, as a group, is to see what people really think about our

topic area. Consider this as a complement to any library research that you

must perform to prepare your section of the final project. The most important

thing is that you have some sense of focus in your interview; you might want

to start with a few general questions, but then you might follow up with

questions aimed to a more specific end. You need to work with your group to

figure out just how your interview will best complement their interviews.

Please consider these points when planning, conducting, and writing up your

interview:

 The interviewee must not be a relative of yours.

 Two group members cannot interview the same person.

 Prepare your questions in advance and arrange them logically. This

will help the interviewee answer your questions and will help you

organize your memo. This does not mean that you march on with your

questions if the answers your interviewee offers do not warrant this.

 Keep your group members in mind when you write your report. List

them on the memo that you submit to me. Since they know the general

subject area, think of them at the technical executive level of audience.

 You cannot tell us everything in a two or three page memo; focus your

report on the most significant points and save the rest for class

discussion and/or your own benefit. However, don’t rely entirely on

the arrangement of your questions to determine the order and emphasis

of your report. Allow the interview itself to direct your report. Choose

those areas that you feel ought to be emphasized. Turn in your list of

questions with your interview memo.

7. Thank you letter

After your interview, you should write a thank-you letter to your interviewee.

This person may be valuable to you later. It is also just the right thing to do.

Many places don’t automatically let people know if they haven’t got the job,

so ONE follow-up call is allowable. No matter how badly you think the

interview went, if you want the job, always send a follow-up interview letter.

If you don’t get the job and you’re curious why not, phone up and get some

feedback. It may help you for the next interview.

Writing a THANK YOU NOTE after an employment interview is a

MUST!! In fact, some employers think less of those interviewees who fail to

follow-up promptly.

Plan to send out your thank you letters as soon as possible (within 24 hours)

after your interviews. If time is of the essence, it’s appropriate to send a thank

you letter via E-mail.

7.1 Thank you letter tips

 Act Fast

 Group Letters – choose your approach based on what you think will

be most in keeping with the personality of the organization. Consider

whether the interviews had very much in common with one another.

If so, all the people on a master letter and add a personal note to each.

Otherwise, send a personalized letter to each interviewer.

 More Employment Thank You Letters – also thank everyone else

who assists with your job search.

 Make an Impression – use your letter as a way to stand out from the

crowd and make a good impression.

 What You Didn’t Say – if there was something that you wish you

had mentioned during the interview, here’s your chance to say it by

including it in your thank you letter.

 Thank You Letter Basics – can be handwritten, typed or sent via

e-mail. Each thank you letter should include a thank you for the

interview, your interest in the jobs, your qualifications and skills and

a final thank you.

 Short and Simple – do use the letter to repeat your interest in the

job, your enthusiasm for the company and to sell yourself as the ideal

candidate.

 Proof Your Letter- spell check and proof your thank you letter.

Then ask someone to proof it for you.

 Bottom Line – it is always appropriate to say thank you!
