- What’s the Next Step?: Once again, express your interest in the position. Ask the interviewer what will be the next step in the process and when the company expects to make a decision about the position.
- Say Thank You in Person: At the end of the interview, be sure to take time to thank the person who took the time out of his or her day to meet with you. “Thank you for taking the time to meet with me, and I look forward to hearing from you,” is a fine way to wrap up.
- Send a Thank-You Note: Ask the interviewer for a business card and send a personal note repeating your interest in the opportunity and thanking the client for taking the time to interview you. An e-mail note is also appropriate. However, send the e-mail using your personal e-mail address from your home system. Do not use your current employer’s e-mail system to send interview thank-you messages. Always double-check your spelling and grammar. If you have neat penmanship, you may consider handwriting your note.
