Sixty-eight percent of hiring managers say that sending a thank you card could make the difference in whether you get the job or not.

     When sending a thank-you note after a job interview, you should think of what the best practices would be. Studies show that a thank-you letter is best received within 24 hours after your interview. This way your face and the impression that you made are still fresh in their minds.

     How did the company contact you regarding the job? Did you receive any emails from the company? Mailed letter? When you examine how the company best communicates, then you are able to better assess which medium to use when sending a thank-you note. If the company is very traditional and conservative, consider sending a handwritten note in with an email.
