After the job interview

Follow Through.
This is a crucial and often-overlooked final step in the interviewing process.
Remember: No home run or 350-yard golf shot was ever hit without a proper follow-through.

It's essential that you write a thank-you note to every person you met at the company.
Your most important letter(s) should go to the interviewer(s).
In your letter, be sure to summarize your conversation and re-emphasize the skills you would bring to the position.
Thank them for their time and ask if it's all right to call later in the week to see how their search for a candidate is going.
That candidate may well be you!
