In fact, after the interview, letters are expected from you. I would pay dearly if someone told me about it right away!

One of the unwritten rules of American business etiquette is to write a letter to the interviewer within a couple of days after the interview.

Why?

What to write?

1. Thank you for the time and information.

2. Express interest in the position.

These are two required points. Tell me how interesting it was for you to find out about the position, how you value the time you have been given, and that now you like this position even more. Example:

3. Clarify / confirm the following steps if necessary. Often you are immediately told what will be needed from you further and what is the time frame for the whole process, but if you suddenly forget, it will be appropriate to clarify. Example line:

Remember, such a letter should be small, professional and to the point. Respect the time of the interviewee.

If your letter has not been answered, and in principle they are silent a couple of days from the moment you sent the first letter or the date agreed to receive feedback - do not hesitate to write again. Yes, that happens often. No need to ulcerate or be rude, just try to easily and naturally remind. Example:

Should I make a call if there is silence after the letters?

This is not always welcome, but you can try at your own risk. I got my first job in the USA just like that, if that.
