Thank you to all that attended the Employer Showcase! Continue the connection and send a thank you. Starting this weekend and early next week, make sure to express your gratitude to employers who helped make it possible. It is very important that you make timely contact with employers – emailed thank you notes are perfect. Weekend emails are a gray area, so you do not have to prioritize it over the weekend. Your thank you email to the employers you met should:
- Be appreciative of their time,
- Mention something memorable you discussed, and
- Include a sentence about the future and your plans – “I will be applying to your firm after speaking with you,” etc.
If you were unable to make the Showcase or you didn’t have the opportunity to see one of your top employers – no problem! You can still write them. You email to those employers should:
- Express that you wanted to see them, but were unable to (do not mention the firms you prioritized over them),
- Mention why you are interested in them, and
- Thank them for their time – it means a lot that they availed themselves to students.
