Unit 7FOLLOW-UP LETTERFollow-up Letter finalizes written communication in the process of job hunting. The content of a follow-up letter depends on the decision made by an employer: in case of turning down an applicant a Rejection Letter is written; if a candidate is considered to meet the employer’s requirements he / she gets a Job-Offering Letter. An employee can also write a follow-up letter when he / she wants to thank a potential employer for the interview (Interview Follow-Up Letter) and / or accept the position (Job-Acceptance Letter). Companies reject applicants for a variety of reasons, the most common of which are lack of relevant qualification or experience. However, it is unusual for a candidate to be told why he or she has been rejected. Letter to successful applicants can vary in length and detail depending on the type of job, whether the company has a standard printed contract, or if for some reason, it is necessary to give details of the terms of employment. A letter offering a job would invite questions if anything is not clear about the terms and conditions of employment, and ask for written confirmation of acceptance. In the UK, the law requires that companies offer a contract of employment and two copies of this are often sent with the letter. The applicant would be asked to return one signed copy with their confirmation, and keep the other for their own record. The interview follow-up letter should be written within a day or two of the job interview. Letters confirming that you accept a post can be brief, as long as they cover all the relevant points.
