For the first few minutes after an interview, you feel relieved and proud all at once. The hard part is over – the actual interview – but now comes the dreaded wait. Are your email sample letters ready?

Did you nail it, and get the job? Or did they hire someone else? Don’t let this anxiety over the response stop you from positioning yourself as a better candidate. An interview follow-up message is key to that venture, so make sure a thank you email after the interview is on your to-do list!

Here is a comprehensive list of interview thank you emails. Feel free to use them word-for-word, or just the general feel of the wording. Either way, they will provide a great idea of how to write a great follow up email!
