How to Write a Thank You Email for A Job Offer

Emails / By

Receiving a job offer is one of the most exciting parts of a career, but it can also be nerve-wracking and complicated. Your first priority should be to respond quickly and politely.

To say thank you to a job offer in an email, open with your acceptance of the position. From there, state your appreciation for the opportunity and ask any questions you may have about your first few days in the position. Then thank your recruiter again and sign off politely.

Here’s what you need to know.

How to Write a Thank You Email for A Job Offer

Before you respond, be sure to review your job offer completely. Look for your rate of pay, hours, and other benefits and responsibilities and verify them against the listing to which you applied and any negotiations you made with your recruiter.

If it does, then it’s best to respond within twenty-four hours to accept your offer. That’s the first thing that needs to be in your thank you email; make it clear that you are going to take the offer, and that you appreciate that it’s been extended to you.

From there, you’ll want to ask any questions you may have, especially regarding first-day priorities like dress code, appropriate entrances, and any documentation you may need for paperwork. You may also want to confirm the details you’ve been given.

You can sign off in any polite manner, though it’s not a bad idea to include another quick thanks at the end and express your enthusiasm.
