Five rules for post-interview thank-you emails
- Send within 24 hours. Send it the same day or the next morning, while the conversation is still fresh.
- Mention something specific. A topic, project or idea from the interview shows you were listening and helps the interviewer remember you.
- Restate your interest. Say plainly that you want the role and why. It tells them you're likely to accept an offer.
- Keep it short. Three or four short paragraphs. Your interviewer is busy.
- Proofread twice. A typo can undo a good interview. Read it aloud, then read it again before you send it.
