Snail mail…definitely. Unless you can get the work email addy of the person who interviewed you.

always send a thank you to a specific person and in letter form for best results.

A thank you letter is always a good idea, but only if you can send it to the specific person who interviewed you. If this means sending it snail mail, that’s what you should do. And now I’m going to tell you something that contradicts probably everything you’ve heard and read about going on interviews: the thank you letter doesn’t really matter all that much. That’s right, I said the thank you letter doesn’t really matter all that much. I’ve been in many different management positions and have interviewed and hired hundreds of people over the years. The fact of the matter is that I’m going to hire the person that has the best qualifications and does the best job in the interview. Most of the time I’ll have made the decision as to who to hire or who to call back for a final interview without regard to who does or does not send a thank you letter. It’s just doesn’t matter and won’t influence my hiring decision. If you knocked my socks off in the interview, I’m going to hire you whether or not you send a thank you letter. If you bombed the interview, sending a thank you letter won’t make me change my mind. Sort of cold, I know, but that’s the reality of the situation. Good luck and I hope you got the job.
