Post-Interview

Follow Up
Your interview is not over when you leave the office. It is not over until you follow up. You could be the best qualified candidate, but lose the position to someone who wrote thank you notes when you did not. As soon as you leave the interview, find an appropriate place to write a note to each person you met. Place the letters in the mail that day or return back to the office to hand deliver the thank you notes.
Thank you notes should be hand-written. Do not send an email. A hand written note is a physical reminder of you, whereas an email is one of hundreds of emails the interviewer gets a day. Your thank you note should be brief. This is a genuine expression of gratitude. Say thank you for their time and consideration and mention something specific you enjoyed about the conversation.
