Following up after the Interview

After you have completed your interview you want to make sure to follow-up with a Thank You e-mail or letter right away. This is more personalized and shows that you are interested in the job and working with the company and are professional. When you write a thank you letter you want to make sure you have the persons direct contact e-mail or address. You can usually obtain this information on the business card they gave you or you can call the office and ask for their contact information. In your thank you letter you want to make it short and sweet.
