What makes a good thank-you email
- Short: three short paragraphs is plenty.
- Specific: mention one thing from the conversation so it doesn’t read like a template.
- Relevant: one sentence on the strength that fits the role best.
- Quick: send it the same day or the next working day.
Mistakes to avoid
- Misspelling the interviewer’s name or the company.
- Sending the same email to everyone on the panel.
- Adding long new answers to questions you think went badly.
- Asking about the decision in the same email.
