Advancements in technology have made it possible for employers and job seekers to communicate more effectively, mostly through the internet. These days, it is easy for job seekers to submit their resumes and cover letters online and employers now contact job seekers through email clients.

Whenever a job seeker receives a letter from an employer on an interview for a job opening, it is always prudent to reply and confirm on availability.The response should be concise, clear and professional.

Part 1: Steps to Write an Interview Mail Reply

1

It is always important to start off with a formal salutation. Male recipients should be addressed as "Dear Mr." while female recipients should be addressed as "Dear Ms." These salutations should be followed by the last name of the recipient.In case you are not certain about the gender of the recipient, you should call the company to inquire.

2

Take the time to read the email invitation clearly. As you read, take keen interest in any question you regard as important as you will need to answer the question when responding to the invitation.

3

Mostly, the question in the invitation may be one that you need to respond to with a 'yes' or 'no' based on your availability for the interview. If you will be available for the interview, you need to respond with vigor: 'Yes, I would very much like to attend the interview' or 'Yes, I can be available for the interview' will suffice.

Before you send your interview mail reply, you need to go through the email one more time to see if there are any other questions you need to respond to. Once you confirm that you have addressed all questions in the email, remember to thank the recipient for the information they have availed and assure them that you will take the time to learn more about the company before the interview date.

5

Once you have answered all questions, you need to close your interview mail reply with a strong statement. You can say that you are looking forward to the interview day and the chance to interact with them more or to learn more about how you can be of help to the company with regards to attaining their goals.

It is very important to close the letter formally. You can use either ‘sincerely’ or 'sincerely yours' to close your letter. After this line, leave a space and type your full name. Read through the email before sending to correct any typing errors.
