What makes a good thank-you email
- Send it the same day. Interviewers often write feedback right after the interview.
- Be specific. Mention one thing you discussed. It shows you listened and makes the note memorable.
- Connect it to the role. One sentence on how you would help is enough; this isn't a second cover letter.
- Keep it short. Under 150 words reads well on a phone.
Example subject lines
- Thank you – Frontend Engineer interview
- Great speaking with you today
- Thanks for your time, Maya
If you haven't heard back by the date they gave you, follow up politely with the follow-up email after an interview generator.
