• Send a thank-you note within 48 hours of the interview. If the company is highly automated, and you are encouraged to do so, you may do this by sending your interviewer an e-mail. Keep your note very short; not more than one or two paragraphs.
  
  
• Immediately write down all the key items you now know about the job before they slip away. The notes you jot down will be used to help you make an informed decision.
  
  
• Waiting after the interview is over can be difficult, but you need to remain patient and not let your hopes go up (or down). Keep in mind that, for you, time will seem to drag by while you are waiting for a response. Most companies move at a steady pace and it can take a week or two before you hear from them. Hang in there!
