Fundamental Writing Tips For Your Job Search
- Before reading any words, the reader will determine interest level by the content’s structure.
- Keeping sentences short and limiting paragraphs to either one or two sentences is critical.
- If a reader thinks they know exactly what’s in the email, they are more likely to put off reading it.
- Talk in terms of what the interviewer wants strategically and discuss how you can deliver that.

Hi ____,
I want to thank you for our conversation. I enjoyed our conversation and I am excited for the opportunity with {COMPANY NAME}. Part of the reason that I have been so patient throughout the interviewing process is that it is my sincere perception that through my efforts and with the current team at the firm, I could assist in aggressive market share growth.
Also, I do appreciate you getting my offer finalized. As you could imagine, getting something finalized on paper is of importance to me. The last piece of business is obviously compensation. I want to make sure that we are all on the same page.
Currently, I am making a $________ base and meet the periodic quotas regularly. This tends to be around market for the other positions I have been recruited at.
Hopefully, that is not out of the range and I do feel that any investment in me by the company will be paid back in spades. I look forward to working with you and thank you.
