ank You Emails After the Interview • Send a thank you email within 24 hours of an internship interview to make an impression. • Handwritten vs. Email − While handwritten notes are appreciated, it is completely appropriate to share your gratitude via email. − This is specific to the nature of interviewing remotely and also due to the sometimes fast-paced nature with which internship site partners can select their interns. • Write a separate personalized thank you email to each interviewer with specific references to the interview. The thank you emails do not need to be completely different. You can write a few similar paragraphs for each note, but you should always add some personal anecdotes from your interview (ex: shared interests). • Content − Reiterate qualifications. − Highlight memorable moments in the interview. − Reaffirm interest in position. − Show gratitude for interview and reiterate any timeline for selection that was shared.
