After the interview, it is a good idea to send a ____ note or letter to the interviewer.
Sedbober [7]
Answer: Handwritten.

Explanation: After your job interview, the first follow-up should be a thank you note; preferably a handwritten letter sent through the mail, which is more likely to be read, but an email on time is better than nothing. You should always send a note to every person you interviewed with, no later than 24 hours after the interview.
