Thank you letters are recommended after an informational or job interview. Their purpose is to reiterate your interest in the position and to thank the interviewer for his or her time. If you are interviewed by multiple people, it is recommended that you send thank you letters to each person individually. When on-site for an interview, be sure to write down the names of each person you speak with, and even better, collect their business cards. Timeliness is important. Make a good impression and send the thank you within 24 hours so you are still fresh in the interviewer’s mind. Follow formal letter format as you would in a cover letter.
