Dear Experts, I had an interview one day and the other candidates were all interviewed within 2 days, so I found out I didn't get the job right before I was going to write the thank you note. Are there any particular details that should be included in a thank you note/follow up even after you've been rejected? Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:Q#201 Advice: Great idea to send a note - just thank them for opportunity and ask them to keep you in mind for future.
