The Post-Interview Thank-You Note. There essentially are three parts to the interview process. The initial work in getting the interview, the interview itself, and the post-interview process. I know very few career coaches who would say that post-interview follow-up isn’t necessary. But, the form such follow-up should take isn’t as universally agreed upon.
