An Awesome Job Reference Thank You Card Example

It’s rare that people remember to thank the person who was a reference for your job interview even though they were a very important part in the process. Perhaps it’s because we know them well and frankly, we take them for granted. Let’s not do that anymore.

Here is a quick way to express your thanks that doesn’t take a ton of time and will be so appreciated.

I send a handwritten thank you card to their home address. If you don’t know the address you can usually find it at sites like truepeoplesearch.com. If you know their email address, do both; by email and a duplicate by snail mail.

I first compose my thoughts using a Word document.

I then copy and paste into an email and/or transpose it by hand by looking at it and writing it in a nice card. You can get cards cheaply at a “Dollar” type store or if you are in the habit of sending thank you notes (such as I do) you can buy them in bulk somewhere online.

Here’s an example:

Dear Annette,

I wanted to express my thanks in this way for your generous acceptance in 

being my reference recently.

I’m glad to say that I did get the job which will be an overnight “sleep” position 

(7 on and 7 off) at an adult assisted living home so I’ll still be free in the day time 

for my other activities.

It means a lot to me that you did this.

Thanks again.

Terry

Was this a very big job or promotion that resulted from getting this reference? Maybe something additional to a thank you card would be appropriate. Ask to take them to lunch without mentioning them being a reference and at the appropriate time, thank them again while handing them your card. You may even include a gift card in the envelope. If you think they may not accept the gift card, mail the thank you card to time it so they will receive it shortly after your coffee, lunch or dinner visit.

What is the value of a 1967 Penny with No Mint Mark and One Error?

 

My favorite place to find out is going to eBay and doing a search. Get an idea as to what people are asking but the best way would be to check the "sold completed" listings by scrolling down and seeing this on the left of the page. Look at the various varieties of conditions etc. and price yours accordingly. 

At the time of this post, here are two eBay ads... 

Rare and still care? Born in 1967; know someone who was? Having a sales contest for your company and your company was founded in 1967? You and your honey got married in 1967 and you want to show your love and appreciation? If so, then “A Penny for Your Thoughts”; but thinking really doesn’t make it so, ya gotta show. So show your rarity or the rarity of someone else with this unique design by Ter Scott.

What is the value of 1977 Penny with no Mint Mark?

 You can find many sources on the Internet but I like to go directly to eBay because that will show the most recent sale of the item. (Always check off the "sold/completed" listings on the left side of the page). 

Simply go to eBay and enter the item, in this case the 1977 penny, into the search bar and you'll get your answer. 

Be sure to see if the penny has special marks that would make it more desirable to collectors, and base your value on that. 

This penny sold for $2000, is your worth that much? 

List is for a little bit cheaper and find out. 

Here is a listing that has not sold at the time of this article.
