Thank You Letters

Overview

As short as they are, thank you notes are incredibly important. Whether or not you write one could make the difference between whether or not you get the job.

Within 24-48 hours after you interview, make sure you send out a thank you note. It's an even tie amongst the pros between which is a better method to send out your thank you note-via email or snail mail. As long as you are professional and prompt, the important thing is to just write one.
