Post Interview Thank you Letter?

Question

Is it recommended to send a Post Interview thank you letter via e-mail?
Or is it more professional to send it via regular mail ?

And why ?

Answer 1

Regular mail is the way to go! Yup to everything else the other person said and also there's a hard copy to clip to your resume dude, and NOTES get passed around cuz nobody kicks it old school with a stamp anymore. Also your other answer can easily be missed as spam. Dude if you want to write a reallygood note you should check this out: http://www.my-thank-you-site.com/job-interview-thank-you-letter.html

I got a WAY competitive internship with one of these thank yous and I had the least experience but the MOST GRATITUDE BABY. Those notes that say "I want to thank you for blah blah" SO WRONG. I had no idea how much I didn't know. Man I hope you put it in the mail already. I carry my sh*t with me to the interview and write one to EVERYBODY who I met and fricken go to a coffee shop and drop them straight in the mail within an hour. And don't anybody say "Hey they might think you wrote it in advance," because I write specific things that went down in the interview. I write it with all the right grammar and crap. People you do not want to compete with me for a job. I ROCK AT INTERVIEWS. Get the job EVERY FREAKIN TIME.

Answer 2

Formal. You are still interviewing for the job up until the time that you are hired. Since you are interviewing for an internship even after you are selected the internship is just an exteneded interview. In your letter make sure that you mention some areas that the interviewer covered. Say thank you for the interview. Pick one reason as to why you would be an assest to the company (something brief) And close by saying that you look forward to hearing from them in the future

Answer 3

I would send a thank you via regular mail. It's just more formal, and is less likely to be overlooked. Also, you should send it ASAP. If the person who interviewed you gets it within 48 hours of your interview, it will show that you are prompt and polite.
