A post-interview message expresses gratitude to the interviewer(s) for their time and consideration. It typically reiterates interest in the position and subtly reinforces the candidate’s qualifications, skills, and enthusiasm. For instance, an applicant might reference a specific point discussed during the meeting to demonstrate engagement and recall.
Sending such a communication is a valuable component of professional etiquette. It demonstrates conscientiousness and reinforces a positive impression left during the interview process. Historically, written notes were the standard, but email has become the preferred method for its speed and convenience. This practice provides an opportunity to reaffirm one’s suitability for the role and distinguish oneself from other candidates.
