What makes it work

• Send it the same day or the next morning, while the conversation is fresh.
• One email for each interviewer. Change the detail you mention, since they may compare notes.
• Be specific. One real point from the interview shows you listened. A list of your strengths does not.
• Fix a weak answer, briefly. If you missed something in the interview, add one sentence with the better answer.
• Use the email they used. If the recruiter arranged the interview, copy them or send it through them.
• Check names and titles. Spell the interviewer's name exactly as in their email signature.

After the email

• One follow-up, then wait. A second reminder within a few days rarely helps.
• If an offer comes, check it against the pay figures for the job before you reply. To ask for more, use the salary negotiation email.
• Two offers? The job offer comparison calculator shows the difference after EPF and tax.
• To accept or decline, use the job offer acceptance email.
