Job Search: Think Like a Doctor, Part 5

Write a Prescription, the PIL. After the consultation, promptly write a post-interview letter (PIL) thanking your interviewers for their time and for the opportunity to meet with them. Take the initiative to further research any questions that stumped you. Articulate the pertinent issues that you determined from the interview and summarize your solutions for them. If there were things you neglected to say, write them here. Be prompt and concise, but thorough and, most of all, professional, like the doctor you are. If your PIL is the best medication for the employer’s pain, it might just be your prescription to a job offer!
