Job Interview Questions: Is email an appropriate method to followup on a job interview?

I called once already but I feel like I am being annoying or bothering the interviewer. I know its nice to show interest but I dont want to be a hound either. Can I email them as well?

Important Tips to Crack That Dream Job Interview - Don't Commit Blunders Like All Others

Recommended Answer:
In today's age of technology- Yes, it is very appropriate to email a short "thank you" after an interview.

Keep it short, but use this opportunity to reiterate your skills or experience that were discussed at the interview, those that you thought of afterwards and to express continued interest. Here is an example of one that I wrote-

Kim,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss my experience and how it aligns with your objectives and vision for the Human Resource Manager's role and (Company Name) future growth.

I welcome the challenge of developing your Human Resource department and processes and want to be instrumental in building (Company Name) strength through complete compliance!

I fully understand the importance of having a solid and trusted counter part and strong communication between Accounting and HR, to support a cohesiveness to objectives-
I would like to be that person for you!

It was a pleasure meeting with ( Interviewer) as well, and I would welcome the chance to work with her in efforts to gain accurate reports needed for her financial forecasting, also in planning cost reduction strategies by looking at HR practices that affect the "bottom line" IE; Worker's Comp and UI premiums,review of Benefit Plans and staffing vendors,fewer legal fees and OSHA/DOL fees and penalties!

I know that on the salary requirement question I stifled some, however please know, that I remain very interested in this position and believe that we can come to a mutual agreement- a good fit is very important to me and I think that I found it at (Company Name)!


Sincerely,

(Me)

Good Luck in your job search!

Seven Job Interview Preparation Secrets

• Email is so ... CHEAP.
  
  Try a hand written thank you note.
  
  Or if I am the potential employer, I would welcome a box of chocolates, a pair of movie tickets, a bottle of champagne. I am very easily bribed. And you can repeatedly send those thank you gifts to me every day until I make my decision on who to employ.
  
  If the interviewer is female, a box of chocolates or bouquet of flowers.


• Maybe a short quick email won't be bad--- just let's them know you are really interested!
