Interview Thank You Letters – More than one interviewer

One of our visitors asked a great question the other day:

I have just completed an interview with 2 people and want to address a thank you letter to both.

Do I put one name on top, then the other on the line below over the company name and address?

Does the salutation become, “Dear Mr. Smith and Mr. Johnson:” or “Dear Mr. Smith: Dear Mr. Johnson:” on 2 lines?

If you interviewed with two people and would like to thank them both, you should write two separate letters. This is much more personal than writing one letter to two people.

For the most part, both of the letters will probably be fairly similar, but the recipients will appreciate the time you put into writing them the separate letters. Also, if you only send one letter it is likely that the other person will never see it.

If you need more assistance with writing a thank you letter, a great resource is the cover letter package available at Perfect Cover Letters. This affordable download includes plenty of examples of writing thank you letters.

Thanks for the great question!
