There are numerous occasions when a businessperson should express gratitude to someone outside the company, either individually or on behalf of the company.
Most businesses use letterhead for formal business correspondence, but fewer have more socially conscious stationery.
Foldover note cards with the company logo on the front and a blank interior are inexpensive and ideal for quick, personalised notes.
Make sure every manager has a supply of these note cards on hand to encourage this informal, but necessary, form of communication.

Hiring a new employee can be a stressful experience for both the applicant and the employer.
Using courtesy and manners both inside and outside of the interview room demonstrates the calibre of the individuals involved on both sides of the process.
In other words, thank you notes and expressions of gratitude are reciprocal.
Sending a thank-you note after an interview is a great way to not only express gratitude and demonstrate courtesy, but also to sell yourself one more time.
Use any information you learned about the company or the position from the interview to your advantage.
Because of the speed and precision of email, as well as the often timesensitive and competitive nature of the hiring process, send an email if you have the interviewer's email address.
Follow the same greeting, acknowledgement, information, and closing rules outlined below.
It may help you stay on the interviewer's mind. However, do not misuse or abuse the email address.
If you do not know the interviewer's email address, write a thank-you letter or note via postal service, but do so as soon as you return from the interview.
Dear Mr./Ms.
I appreciate your meeting with me earlier today. I am excited about the possibility of joining your organization as ____________ (Job Title).
The skills I developed while working at _________ (Prior employer) will greatly assist me at ________(Company Name).
Thank you again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Applicant
There may come a time when you are offered multiple positions and must decide which one to accept.
It is a professional courtesy to notify the non-prevailing employer(s) of your decision as soon as possible.
Dear ______,
I am truly grateful for the offer of employment which you extended me for ___________________________ (Job Title).
Unfortunately, I must respectfully decline your offer at this time.
It was a delight getting to know more about ______________ (Company Name) and I wish you and the company all the best.
Sincerely,
Applicant
One of the most frustrating experiences for a job prospect is not knowing what happened with their CV, application, or interview.
It is the employer's responsibility to keep all candidates updated on the progress of their applications and the hiring process.
One can't imagine how many businesses ignore this simple principle to their harm.
Failure to keep candidates informed of the process frequently leads in a poor perception of the business, and it is astonishing how such perceptions are conveyed openly on social media or to existing workers who may be friends with the applicants.
In other words, courtesy in the hiring process is a little-used form of public relations.
While boilerplate letters are okay for replying to a broad candidate pool, a more personal approach is necessary as the process continues to first and second interviews.
In some cases, a handwritten message is preferable.
Dear Mr./Ms. :
Thank you for applying for the position of _________________. We have received a number of applications, and regret to inform you that you will not be considered for the position at this time.
Again, we appreciate your interest in Company Name, and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Name
Many a times we might have received a cold, “we’ve gone another way” letter,Instead, If you do receive a handwritten note, say from a top executive expressing his/her\s appreciation for your qualifications while informing you that you were not selected.
The agony of rejection would be lessened.
Naturally, you would be unhappy if you were not hired, but you may end up holding the person and the company in high regard as a result of the kindness with which the awful news was conveyed.
So, if you work in human resources, take it a step further and create a welcoming employer brand for your company.
Dear Name,
It was such a pleasure to get to know you and your work during the interview process for the _____________ position.
You are a truly remarkable individual, and I am impressed with your qualifications and credentials.
As you know, you were one of the finalists for the position.
One of the other candidates had more experience in _______________, and that was part of the deciding factor in offering that candidate the position.
I wish you all the best in your job search, and I know you will find the ideal position. Please let me know if I may of any assistance to you. I look forward to our crossing paths again.
Warm regards,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for meeting with me this afternoon. I really appreciate the generous time you took to look at my work.

A thank-you note can be designed on Canva/ Figma/ Photoshop and sent across internal messaging platforms. You can also write the said message on a regular picturesque postcard and send it to your colleague if you like things the old school way.
There are several ways to show your gratitude. We have included some examples in this article and you can take one from here and tailor your own message according to your need.
Saying ‘thank you’ to a coworker will break the barriers and strengthen the work relationship. Different scenarios demand different types of messaging, but the common underlying principle is to show that you are grateful to your colleague.
The best way is to give another gift in return when the time arises. However, sometimes just a simple thank-you note should do the job!
An employee parting ways would have played an important role in your career. You should not only thank them for the support and guidance, but also wish them the best in their new endeavor. More importantly, you should stay in touch.
