Question: Should I send a thank you note post interview? If yes, do you have any tips on what it should say?

Answer: I have mixed feelings on thank you notes. In my experience as a Recruiting Director at a “biglaw” firm, thank you notes have hurt candidates more than they have helped. Partners scrutinize every word looking for a reason to not hire you. Thank you notes with typos will send your application straight to the rejection pile. However, many candidates feel that post interview thank you notes are a formality that shouldn’t be skipped. If you feel strongly about wanting to send a thank you note – follow these tips:
 
  1. Keep it short, concise and to the point.
  2. Send the thank you note via email – within 24 hours of the interview.
  3. TRIPLE check the email for typos and grammar before sending – better yet – have someone else proof read it.
  4. Be personable and refer to something discussed in the interview.
  5. Restate your interest in the position and thank the interviewer for his or her time.
