Thank You Correspondence

Ideally, a thank you note via email or handwritten note should be sent within a day or two after meeting someone. This will help you to build rapport and develop lasting professional connections. These connections can support your search and application artist opportunities. Thoughtful, well-crafted correspondence can demonstrate your genuine interest and sincere appreciation of others. 

​​

Your message should include:​

• A thank you for meeting and talking with you.

• A reminder of how you met.

• A comment about a particularly meaningful point that came up in your conversation, information they shared with you, and/or tips or advice they provided.

• Close your message by letting them know you look forward to staying in touch. You should include a link to your online portfolio and/or attach your resume to the message.
