You just finished interviewing for a job and feel great about your prospects. You delivered intelligent answers with poise and confidence, displayed impeccable etiquette and established rapport with the interviewer. In other words, you nailed it. All that's left to do is go home, breathe a sigh of relief and wait for human resources to call with a job offer.
Wait -- that's not exactly where things end. Don't forget to show your enthusiasm -- and good manners -- by following up with a written or oral thank you. Why? According to a Robert Half International survey, 91 percent of managers believe it's helpful for job candidates to show their appreciation after an interview.
Here are six tips for following up with finesse:
1. Choose the right medium. Save the informal "thx!!" texts for your friends. The survey asked respondents to cite the most appropriate way for job seekers to express their gratitude. An email was the top response (87 percent), followed by a phone call (81 percent), handwritten note (38 percent) and social-media message (27 percent). Just 10 percent of those polled said sending a text message was acceptable.
