Interview Follow Up
The importance of follow up cannot be overemphasized and can be critical to your getting hired. Good follow up reinforces your message to the employer at the interview and helps you stand out from the competition.
You should always follow up with a thank you letter and a phone call.
Always Send a Thank You Letter

The purpose of the follow-up letter to an interview is to convey your thankfulness at being given an interview. However, sending a thank you letter also serves several other purposes as well:
It helps the employer remember you
It shows your interest in further discussion
It gives you a chance to add anything you may have omitted at the interview or you believe should be explained further
Basic elements of the thank you letter include:
Statement of appreciation
Expression of interest in employment with their company
Reaffirmation of your qualifications for the position
A follow-up letter shows the interviewer that you are thorough, courteous, efficient and, most importantly, that you are sincerely interested in the job.
