FOLLOWING UP IS KEY
When you get in your car, immediately write down key issues uncovered in the interview. Think of the qualifications the employer is seeking, and match your strengths to them. Then, call your recruiter! Follow-up at this stage is critical. Finally, send a thank-you letter. An email is appropriate if the interviewer prefers to communicate through email.

Tips for sending your follow-up email:

· Send out your thank-you email no later than 24 hours after your interview has ended.

· Always keep your audience in mind. Address the issues and the concerns that were mentioned during the interview.

· Use the email as a follow-up "sales" note, in which you restate your reasons for wanting the position and remind the interviewer why you're qualified.

· Mention anything of importance that your interviewer might've neglected to ask in person. Choose your words carefully when using email. Spell check and proofread several times prior to sending.

Choose your words carefully when using email. Email creates an instant written record, so don't let the speed and the ease of sending it blind you to the fact that you will be judged on what you've said and how you've said it.
