What are Interview Appointment Letters?

An interview appointment letter helps transfer information between an interviewer and an interviewee. These appointment letters vary according to different circumstances. It can be a professional interview appointment letter or a cancellation. The interviewer can write a letter informing the job applicant when an interview has been rescheduled or acknowledge his job application and resume.

On the other hand, the respondent can write to the interviewer requesting that for a rescheduling of an interview, decline the interview invitation, or inquire for more details about the interview. Therefore, there are several types of interview appointment letters. This article contains different interview appointment letter templates.
