Try to deliver the thank you letter within 1-2 business days. View a sample job search thank-you letter format.

References

References will be asked for at some point in your interview process – be prepared. Use this template to compose your professional references. Be sure to ask permission before submitting someone’s name and contact information. We suggest you do not include an e-mail address for each contact. Our experience indicates that unless someone knows the person they are receiving the e-mail from they probably will not open it. It’s more efficient to provide the phone number so the contact can be made and then, if e-mail is the appropriate way to communicate, the relationship will already be established.
