Had a great interview yesterday for I job I would love to get. Back in school they trained us to send thank you letters (e-mail) after interviews, to me it seems kind of lame but have any of you guys done this at all?
Thank you letter after interview yay or nay?

I've done it before...but I honestly don't think it matters that much.

They probably made their choice within the first 2 minutes, doubt the letter would help or hurt.

I only use the thank you if they are taking too long to get back to you with either a yes or a no for a job. That way it gives you a "nicer" way to inquire about whether or not they made a decision.
yep, feel the same about it.
As someone who works in HR/recruiting, absolutely yes (assuming it's something halfway decent, not fast food or garbage collecting)
A very brief, quick email thanking them for their time and reaffirming your interest in the position is always a good idea.

Every job I've been hired for I've never sent a thank you letter to.

I would go wit a "You betta..." one instead.
I talk to many recruiters and they always say a written thank you letter stands out the most. Email is pretty useless since they get countless of emails. They've told me people have gotten hired over more qualified applicants off the strength of the written thank you letter/post card.
