Always send a thank you note (or email) after a job interview. But remember to keep it short and sweet, and mention one specific thing about the interview or what you learned about their organization.
The truth is that there is very little you can do right now that will help your cause. Being overly eager or pushy is going to seem annoying and might actually hurt your chances of getting the job. Remember that the person who interviewed you may be handling many different positions, and if everyone they interviewed reached out to them, their inbox would be inundated with queries.
There are, however, a few exceptions to this “waiting” rule. More specifically, there are four times when it may actually be in your best interest to shoot the hiring manager a note.First things first: at the end of your interview ask the hiring manager when you can expect to hear back from them about next steps. This date will help you determine when it’s most appropriate to follow up down the line.One day after your interview, you can send your first note.
about the organization and ask if there is any additional information you can provide that would be of use. Tell them you are looking forward to hearing back soon.I wanted to follow up on my interview on [date] for [position]. I was wondering if you had news to share about the position. I enjoyed our discussion and getting to know more about [company].
