How to interview like a top MBA #Book Summary#10

 FOLLOW UP, REINFORCING A POSITIVE , LASTING IMPRESSION

What to Do after the interview: An insider's View
After the interview, remind the interviewer who you are by writing a brief note---even if it is just a brief e-mail-- that makes reference to some of the things you spoke about with the interviewer. Express your appreciation for their time, and mention that you greatly enjoyed getting to meet them. I have received many responses from interviewers letting me know they really appreciated it when I sent them notes after the interviewer. It adds a nice touch.

Top Ten Interview Dos
1-Create a great first impression
