Ok, so I sent an e-mail thank you yesterday when I got home from the interview & by day's end. I've read conflicting things & I'm not sure if it matters, but is it necessary to do a thank you e-mail AND mail out a thank-you letter by snail mail? Is that even acceptable or just too much? I don't want to overdo it but at the same time I do really want this job!!

Should I go ahead & do both or do you think I would be ok as long as I did the e-mail?

Time is of the essence here--thanks!!!

I have never sent more than one thank you for one interview.... I should think the email was sufficient Anything else seems like it might be overkill.

Agreed, I think one is enough.

Thanks a lot. I agree. I definitely don't want overkill, just the job

20. Forgetting your manners
Common courtesy can get you far, and in a job hunt you'd like to get as far as possible. After an interview, send a thank-you note (via e-mail or regular mail) to show your gratitude to the interviewer for taking the time to meet with you. This will leave him or her with a good impression of you.
At least the one, yes, off the thread, 25 ways to Sabotage your job search.

If youre smart, you can remind them of yourself in the thank you email. just touch on something you talked about in the interview. It sometimes helps.

Thanks, guys. Looks like majority rules, I just did the e-mail thank you to each of the supervisors I interviewed with. Hopefully I'll hear something sooner than later--wish me luck!
