While on the train home or even before you get back in the
car, strike while the iron is hot. If the employer is making a quick hiring
decision, time is of the essence. If there is no sense of urgency, you may still
want to send a quick email thank you. You'll be reiterating your interest in
the position sooner rather than later.
In addition to thanking the person you talked with, the thank
you note reinforces the fact that you want the job. Use your letter to address
any issues and concerns that came up during the interview. You can also view
the thank you as a follow-up "sales" letter. In other words, restate
why you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make
significant contributions, and so on.
This letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss
anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask or that you
neglected to answer as thoroughly, or as well, as you would have liked. Keep in
mind though, that the thank you note should be brief and to the point. A couple
of brief paragraphs are sufficient.
If you were interviewed by several people, send individual
messages to each person you interviewed with (ask for a business card at the
conclusion of each interview - that way you'll have the contact information for
your thank you letters). Remember to modify your message so each interviewer
gets a unique thank you note. More tips on Preparing for an Interview
