The right way to say thanks after an interview

Taking the time to say thank you after a job interview not only is good interview etiquette, it reinforces your interest in the position. Use your thank you letter, as well, to address any issues and concerns that came up during the interview.

You can also consider your thank you as a follow-up sales pitch. Restate why you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make contributions to the organization, and so on.

Your thank you letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss anything of importance that you didn't answer as thoroughly as you would have liked during the job interview. Keep in mind though, that your thank you note should be brief and to the point.
