Job interview letter is an important tool for the entire job application process. Its unique features and use are going to be examined in the upcoming paragraphs.

Let us start with the definition of the job interview letter. A written sequence of statements aiming at an invitation to a job applicant for an interview session is called job interview letter. As can be understood from its definition, job interview letter is prepared and compiled by company managers and posted to the applicant. The letter is formally written according to some criteria.

Job interview letter is preferred to phone call just because the formality of the former is far greater than that of the latter. Companies tend to execute their relationships in a formal way so it is not acceptable for a company to invite an applicant via phone. Only small operational companies can perform such a task without doubt.

Job interview letter consists of some information about the job interview session and general standing of the company. Sometimes, an attachment can be sent so as to express more information about the company policy. The part of the job interview letter containing information related to interview session is written as an outline rather than a formal invitation mail. Date and time of the job interview is explicitly stated in this section and the evaluation period is also denoted in order for the job applicant to prepare him/herself for the entire process.

Job interview letter is composed of mainly three parts;namely introduction, invitation and conclusion. In the introductory part of the letter, a thankful expression is used and a general invitation is stated. In the invitation part, the reasons why the job applicant is qualified to get the job interview letter are explained. An interesting feature in this section is that company managers do not have signs under their names just to identify that the job interview letter is only an introduction to the communication between the job applicant and the company. Only the company secretary's name is signed in invitation section of the job interview letter. In the conclusion, the job applicant is thanked for his/her patience and the letter finishes.

The main method used to construct such job interview letters is to formalize all the statements in the letter. Several templates of job interview letters are accessible and one conforming to company's own style is chosen at the end.

In conclusion, job interview letter constructs a relationship between the company staff and the job applicant. It also encourages the job applicant to expect a positive result from the ongoing job interview.
