- 2. INTERVIEW LETTER 1 • Applying for a job and then getting one is one major task. There are many steps before one gets to the top of the job ladder and each step seems insurmountable till it is crossed. These days the trend of employee selection is different from what it used to be. Now there is first a round of group discussion that results in elimination. And then there are at least two rounds of interviews and then the final selection. • An Interview Letter is the one that is sent out for an individual inviting her/him to appear for the interview. Because of increased competition, an individual really needs to think out of the box while appearing for the group discussion as well as the interview. A lot needs to be and should be communicated in the Interview Letter, such as the date, time and venue of the interview along with details of any documents or proof the individual needs to carry with her. Since an Interview Letter is the first communication that an individual receives from an organization, it should be well written.

It is the first letter that someone receives on arrival to a new office or new house or new school/college. Needless to say, it makes the long lasting impression on the recipient of the letter. So the letter should be very carefully worded. Appropriate adjectives should be used to ensure that the correct feelings are being conveyed. A lengthy Welcome Letter looses its novelty so make sure that the letter is short and precise. • Preferably a draft of the Welcome Letter should be kept ready so that it is given the moment the individual arrives.
