How To Write A Thank You Note After Your Interview

How To Write A Thank
 You Note After Your Interview image email ban 300x223.jpg


















No matter whether you’ve had a great interview, or one that could have gone a bit better, it’s always important to send the people who interviewed you a thank you note.
Not only is it polite, but sending a quick email keeps you on the hiring manager’s radar and might even give you the edge over another candidate who maybe didn’t send a note.
But where do you start when it comes to firing up your emails and sending over the thank you note? Well, these tips should give you a good idea!

1) Address The Interviewer Directly
The first and most vital rule of the thank you email is to make sure you address it to the person who interviewed you. You should already have their details or – if not – you can get them from the company’s HR team.
Make sure you send it to their personal email address, and if there was more than one person interviewing you, send a personalised email to each interviewer.
This personal touch shows that you’ve gone to the effort to get their email address and customise the note just for them.

2) Include Information Discussed At Interview
A thank you note should be kept quite short, but if there’s anything you wanted to follow-up on after the interview that was discussed, then now is the time to do it.
If there’s something you don’t think you explained particularly well, or a past project you wanted to show them more information about, then include these in your thank you email.
However, be aware that they are busy people, so keep whatever you want to explain or show them short and to-the-point.

Do You Know your Hepatitis B Status?


 
Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Infection with this virus can cause scarring of the liver, liver failure, liver cancer, and even death. You can even have hepatitis B and not know it! You won't have symptoms at all. Even if you do, they can make you feel like you have the flu. But as long as you have the virus, you can spread it to others. A mother who has the virus can pass it to her baby during delivery. Hence medical experts recommend that all pregnant women get tested for hepatitis B. 
 

Hepatitis B is spread through contact with the blood and body fluids of an infected person. It is spread by infected blood and other bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, and open sores. Just like Ebola, HIV. Do you know your Hepatitis B status, guys?
 
Have you ever dealt with someone who tested positive to Hepatitis B before? How did it go? Were there foods he/she avoided during treatment, food supplements he/she took? Can Hepatitis B be cured? I really hope everyone will join this discussion and we would all be sincere in our answers. 

Your comment today will save a life.

Eat lunch at your desk? You might not after this: Gross video shows how quickly germs travel from a loo seat to your mouth

Bacteria spreads throughout the office. Previous studies have 
revealed 3,000 organisms per square inch on a keyboard or over 1,600 on a
 computer mouseYou might look at your desk and think it looks pretty clean. 
But a gruesome new video shows how it could be riddled with invisible bacteria all the way from the bathroom - and is easily spread to your hands and mouth.
As one in four office workers fail to wash their hands after going to the loo, anything from the door to the keyboard and computer mouse is covered with millions of bacteria.
In order to avoid getting ill, experts have revealed the best ways to try and remain as germ-free as possible.

Touching the keyboard and then later eating lunch transfers the 
bacteria from the hands to the mouth

Flushing the loo without putting the seat down causes a 'sneeze effect', in which bacteria is sprayed all over the cubicle and can cover surfaces as far as 20 feet away

This Girl's Game of Hide and Seek With Her Dog Will Make Your Heart Grow Three Sizes

  Ready or not, here I come...

Yuletide shaming aside, this video will make you so, so happy:
It’s a little girl named Sierra challenging her dog, a Newfoundland named Sebastien who’s about three times her size, to a game of hide and seek. Sierra hides, Sebastien seeks… View gallery . View gallery .
WATCH: Kids get into the cutest little argument over the weather! Most of the video is Sebastien searching the (very, very clean, despite having a baby and a dog) home — which is more entertaining than it sounds — but eventually, he finds Sierra:

And it’s CUUUUUUTE.

What is Marburg, the Ebola-like virus that killed a health-care worker in Uganda?



A 30-year-old hospital technician died of the Marburg virus this weekend in Uganda, health officials there announced Sunday. Marburg, like Ebola, is a hemorrhagic fever. It's rare but severe.
According to NBC's Monday report, officials in Uganda have quarantined about 80 people who came into contact with the victim, one of whom — the man's brother — has developed the early symptoms of the disease. Sixty of those quarantined are health-care workers.
On Tuesday, Uganda's Ministry of Health said in an emailed statement that testing on 11 potential cases of Marburg came back negative, including that of the victim's brother. Those who still show symptoms similar to Marburg three days from now will be re-tested at that time, the ministry added.

Do you have a close relationship with your mother? If not, you’re more likely to have problems bonding with your own baby

Women with lower levels of 'love hormone' are more likely to have had a dysfunctional relationship with their mother

  • Those women tend to experience negative feelings towards their own babies

A study has found women who have close relationships with their mother will bond better with their babies 

If you had a dysfunctional relationship with your mother it could mean you are more likely to have problems bonding with your own babies.
Lower levels of the 'love hormone' oxytocin have been found in women who are not close with their own mother, a report suggests.

Wife's Happiness is More Crucial to Marital Success Than Husband's, Study Finds


Wife's Happiness is More Crucial to Marital Success Than Husband's, Study Finds
Turns out, the old adage “happy wife, happy life” is spot on. When a woman is happily married, her husband’s overall life satisfaction gets a boost, regardless of how he feels about their union, according to a new Rutgers University study, published in the October issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.
The researchers analyzed the marital quality and general well-being of 394 couples who’d been married, on average, for 39 years. (To be included, both spouses had to be at least 50 years old, and one at least 60.) Although overall life satisfaction didn’t significantly differ by gender, the men did tend to report slightly higher marital happiness than their wives did.
