Most job-hunters ignore the advice to write thank-you notes after they interview with a company. This advice to write thank-you notes will help to set you apart when it comes down to an employer choosing someone to hire.

Writing a thank-you note will help you to stand out from the other applicants for the position. You should write a thank-you note to everyone you met when you interviewed. 

When you are in the interview, you can ask for their business card so that you have their contact information.

Here's six reasons that should convince you that writing a thank-you note is key: 

1. It shows that you have good people skills and manners.

2. It will help them remember you specifically.

3. If more than the person who initially interviewed you has to decide on whether or not to hire you, that person can show them the thank-you note.

4. If the interview went well, you can say that you look forward to speaking again.

5. If you forgot to tell them anything important in the interview, you can tell them in the thank-you note.

6. If the interview didn't go as well as you wanted or you decided you don't want to work there, the thank-you note can be a goodbye opportunity. You can thank them for taking the time to interview you.
