After your interview it’s a good idea to write a thank you letter to thank the interviewer for their time and reinstate your interest in the job and the company. You can also remind them how your key skills and experience meet the key requirements of the job. Generally speaking, you should send a thank you letter no later than one day after your interview. Follow below tips for writing a thank you letter:

• If time is an issue then it’s ok to say thank you via email
• If you were interviewed by a panel then you have to decide whether to send letters to each member or just one to the entire group. Think about which is the most important persona to say thank you to. If the interviewers had a great deal in common and were similar then one letter is sufficient. You should address all the people on a master letter and add a personal note to each. Otherwise, send a personalized letter to each interviewer
• If there was something that you didn’t mention during the interview, include it in your thank you letter
• Keep your thank you letter short and simple
• Spell-check and proofread your letter and ask someone else to proof it for you

If you haven’t heard from the employer by the specified day then it’s perfectly acceptable to ring up and find out whether or not you’ve been successful. Also, keep your referees informed of your status following the interview. Advise them as to what you would like them to say to the employer. Moreover, aim to get as much feedback as possible from your interviewers. If you were unsuccessful then ring up and ask them how they think you can improve.
