After the Interview
Within 48 hours of a job interview, it is crucial to send the interviewer(s) a letter expressing your sincere appreciation as well as your interest in the position. You may express why you think you are a good match for the position and outline your excellent candidacy by briefly discussing your qualities and skills. Include something specific that was discussed during the interview. Thank you letters can be handwritten on stationary, typed in a professional format, or sent via email. Keep in mind that if they indicate at your interview that they are making a decision in the next few days, an email may be the best method for sending your letter to ensure they receive it before they make their decision.
