Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Writing a short note of thanks (using the format for routine messages) within two days after the interview is the best course of action. This shows appreciation for the opportunity and keeps you top of mind with the interviewer. A follow-up letter with another copy of your resume can be too pushy and seem desperate. Having a friend call to see whether you got the job can be seen as unprofessional and not in good taste. Assuming you didn't get the job without any follow-up is also not recommended as it leaves room for missed opportunities.
