How to Ace the Job Interview
Part 3 - The follow up

Impressing the company doesn't end at the interview. The time to re-iterate your skill set and appreciation for the meeting is immediately after the interview, with the follow up.

• Within 24 hours of the interview, send a follow-up thank you card, letter or email to each interviewer, re-emphasizing your skills and what you bring to the position. Chances are, many of the potential candidates are sending thank you emails as well, so draw from a conversation or a point mentioned in the interview to further personalize your email.
• Contact your references and brief them on the interview and let them know they may be contacted shortly.
• If you don't hear from the company, chalk it up to interview practice. If they do contact you with a rejection, McGee suggests that you, "Ask for feedback so you can improve and go into your next interview with confidence. Then send a thank you letter following the rejection. Not many people do that and it's another opportunity to reiterate your interest in working for the company. You'll be remembered as extraordinarily professional and you may even get an offer down the road."
