There is no right or wrong answer because I have already stated that I talked to a couple of people who worked in HR and said the people they hired did not send a thank you letter and the people who were not selected sent a thank you letter. That proved that a thank you letter does not factor into the hiring decision because it's OPTIONAL not mandatory.
If you are hiring for an entry-level position, or a position that is going to get tons of resumes from people of similar backgrounds (i.e., recent college graduates, people of a certain skill set), then sending a well-written, substantive thank you note thanking the interviewer for their time is absolutely a plus, and may even get you the job if they undecided between several individuals.
You absolutely must write a thank-you note if it's for a dream job you really, really, really want....and be up-front in the note stating you want the job and that you think you are the ideal candidate for the position!
I just want to start seperating myself from other applicants in different ways and not doing what everyone else does after a interview.
I read in Forbes magazine that most people --around 75%-- do not send thank you notes after an interview, so you are seperating yourself from the rest of the pack by writing a thank you letter.
So now I shouldn't thank the interview through email, instead I should go to the post office and mail the letter?
Or do as the experts suggest and write the letter after the interview and hand it to the interviewer or the receptionist. Handwriting the note is incredibly important to give it a personal touch that makes it look like you give a damn about wanting to work for the company. Emailing is about as far from personal as you can get.
But why bother telling you this since its obvious you never listen to any of the advice given by scores of people in this subforum.
Does it really take that much time/effort to write a letter and mail it, or do 90% of the other useful suggestions offered here, or do you just like being a troll?
Damm, that would mean I would have to buy a printer to print out this letter and I refused to spend anymore money until I get a job. My Monthly income is already small and there is no more room in my budget for anymore purchases except FOOD and PERSONAL NEEDS.

What do you mean by hand write it after the interview? In the Lobby? Car? Never heard of this before.
