Keep it short. Thank them, mention something specific, reinforce interest, and leave.
Practice More QuestionsGood structure
Thank them
Reference something specific
One sentence of continued interest
Sign off
Example
“Thank you again for taking the time to speak with me today. I especially appreciated hearing about how interns gradually take on more responsibility throughout the engagement. Our conversation made me even more interested in the opportunity and the team. Thanks again for your time.”
If you interviewed with two people
Send separate notes when you have their individual emails and personalize one sentence for each conversation.
If you do not have their email
You can ask the recruiter to pass along your thanks. Do not turn finding a personal email address into an investigation.
What not to include
Your entire résumé again
A three-paragraph Why Me argument
Repeated apologies
Pressure for an immediate decision
Short is fine
A specific two- or three-paragraph thank-you note is enough to close the loop professionally.
