Should You Send a Thank You Email After an Interview?

In most cases, yes. A thank you email is a low-risk way to show professionalism, reinforce interest, and stay top of mind after the interview.

Why send one

It shows follow-through and gives you one more touchpoint with the interviewer.

When it matters most

Competitive roles, formal industries, and any interview where rapport or detail matters.

When it matters less

Very high-volume hiring funnels, though it still rarely hurts if done well.
