Thank you letters.
Writing a thank you letter after a job interview is a must! In fact, some employers think less of those interviewees who fail to follow-up promptly. Here's information on writing thank you letters plus thank you letter samples.
Sending Thank You Letters
Plan to send out your thank you letters or thank you notes as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours) after your interviews. It is also appropriate to send an email thank you letter.

Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name:
It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the xxxx position at the Exigent Group. The job, as you presented it, seems to be a very good match for my skills and interests. The creative approach to xxxx that you described confirmed my desire to work with you.
In addition to my enthusiasm, I will bring to the position strong programming skills, assertiveness and the ability to encourage others to work cooperatively with the department. My technical background will help me to work with others on staff and provide me with an understanding of the work.
I understand your need for programming support. My detail orientation and organizational skills will help to free you to deal with larger issues. I neglected to mention during my interview that I had worked for two years as a team leader. This experience helped me to develop my project management skills.
I appreciate the time you took to interview me. I am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you about this position.
Sincerely,
Your Signature
