RP Members, Connections, and Civilian Recruiters how important is it to follow-up with a "thank you" letter or email following the face-to-face or telephone interview in today's job market?
We've heard a consensus that the Cover Letter isn't really needed today and that the Resume is the key document, as well as networking in today's job market.
Let's get some feedback on the "thank you" letter or email.

I always send a thank you e-mail. It doesn't necessarily get you the job, but might bump up your status.

I think it is appropriate to send a well-crafted letter after an in-person interview that left room for follow-up COL Mikel J. Burroughs. A simple thank you for their time makes sense for an interview that went nowhere.
Telephone interviews could best be responded via a well-crafted and spell and grammar checked email - which is read by you and somebody you trust before sending

I've been taught to always give a hand-written thank you card myself, or a thank you email if the first wasn't possible. But always try for the hand-written note first.

Nearly no one sends a thank you note these days.
If you do it and it gets there RAPIDLY, it will leave a positive feeling.
Write them as you leave the interview and make it personal. Drop it in the mail as you walk to the car if you can.
