A simple 'Thank You' is one of the most influential words that can have a positive impact right from your job interview to your career management.
An article in forbes.com lists out a few techniques about the usage of 'Thanks' that will be helpful in your career.
When you want to move forward with your career, the best thing to do is figuring out your priorities and what are the positives and negatives in the job.
Be specific about the positives and be thankful for them and encourage them.
We can't expect things to go as planned in a conversation when you ask what you need. But being thankful for what is going well will certainly ease the tension and also makes the other person feel that you are on the same page with them at least in some things.
Saying 'Thank You' will also mean that you were impacted with the interaction with someone. It also means that you don't want the relationship to end there and want to add more to it.
In this social media world, saying thank you also gives another way of interacting and showing that you are up to date in your area of expertise.
The usage of 'Thank You' can also save you from embarrassing situations during an interview.
If an interviewer puts forth a question that is something out of your comfort zone, you can always politely refuse it with a 'Thank you'.
'I’ve learned a lot from each of my bosses, so I am grateful for all my experiences. I did have a boss who reacted to busy times by yelling – I work best with less volatility, though thanks to that experience, I am so much better now at not taking things personally…,' the article cites as an example.
It is always significant to say 'thank you' at the end of a job interview. This not only shows that you were actively listening to the interview, it will also make the interviewers to consider you for your enthusiasm and active participation.
Being grateful also makes you motivated. Thinking about something positive that happened to you recently before an interview will improve your mood and will also make you talk with enthusiasm.
Sometimes you have to turn down a few offers made to you and have to negotiate. And saying thank you will come in handy while doing so. Using it during a difficult conversation will put both parties in an agreement focus.
