Writing Thank You after Interview with Multiple Interviewers

Email them separately? Email both the same email together?

handwritten letters to each person, and anyone that helped line up the interviews

ive been writing a lot lately

Mostly it depends on how long the hiring company's interview cycle lasts.

Personally, I conduct interviews for one of the top 20 IT services firms and we start a typical day right after lunch. All the interviewers have submitted their recommendations by 5pm. A handwritten note is obviously a waste of time since the hire/nohire decision is already in the bag.

But there are other situations where the hiring cycle is longer. If you're looking for a spot with a small firm it makes much more sense, but for a big firm with a well-established process the decision was probably made before you got home.

An email that I sent to the PRIMARY interviewer got me my first job at a Fortune 500 company.

3 of us all had the same education, experience and all of us nailed the final interview. I got the job because I emailed the lady that led the interview process - the other two mailed in notes.

Sent my email in that afternoon after the interview and that was the tiebreaker. I got the call the next morning and was working there a week later.

She disclosed all this to me my first day!

Edit - ask for their damn business cards in case you have any post interview questions. It will have their email address on it.

My last interview about four years ago, I sent emails to everyone who interviewed me (about 7 people). I made sure to personalize each email, not just changing names, but threw in a quick sentence thanking them in particular for something--ie one person for clarifying my question about x, another for being candid about the pros/cons of working there (she was quite candid).

I also sent a handwritten card to the main boss.

I think email is a must for the following reasons:

1. It gives immediate feedback, not only reinterating the fact that you are interested, but I got a quick response from everyone I emailed, which basically let me know I was going to get an offer. One person emailed me back saying they were looking forward to working with me.

2. It opens up the communication lines if you had any follow up questions (less awkward than a phone call).

3. It can add several contacts--if you are a strong candidate who doesn't get the job, you can follow up the thank you note with a quick email saying you were sorry it didn't work out, and politely ask to keep you in mind for any future openings in that industry (either at that company or another), and they have an easy way to get in touch with you.

Letters are so old fashioned I don't think they are even relevant anymore. I don't remember the last time I checked my mailbox at work. I'd send an email.
