Reasons to Follow-up After an Interview

You MUST follow up with a thank you note/letter after your interview.  Don't wait-DO IT!

Following an interview, promptly (within 2 business days) write the interviewer a letter expressing appreciation and thanks for the interview.
The purpose of this letter is to:
>Show appreciation for the employer's interest in you.
>Reiterate your interest in the position and in the organization.
>Review or remind the employer about your qualifications for the position. If you thought of something you forgot to mention in the interview, mention it in your follow-up / thank-you letter.
>Demonstrate that you have good manners and know to write a thank-you letter.
>Follow up with any information the employer may have asked you to provide after the interview.

I think writing a thank you letter followed by your interview is a great advantage in getting the job because it shows that you are interested in the job you are applying for. It also shows that you are more dedicated then the average individual and shows you are a hard worker.

Job seekers frequently send rsums or employment applications as attachments to a cover letter, by way of introducing themselves to recruiters or prospective employers and indicating their interest in the positions. Employers may look for individualized and thoughtfully written cover letters to screen applicants who are not sufficiently interested in their position or who lack the required writing skills.

Sending a "thank you" note is also a great way to set you apart from the crowd and to make sure the interviewer keeps you on his/her mind.
