Dear Susan,
While a thank you letter may not be the determining factor in whether or not one gets that coveted job, it does tell a potential employer that you're aware of the "rules of the game" and willing to follow them in order to secure employment.
Thank you letters IMHO should be sent out no later than a day after the interview, two days max. The other purpose of a thank you letter is less than obvious, sure you want to say thank you, but the REAL purpose of a thank you letter is to get your name in front of the potential employer again. Having an employer open and read a thank you letter from you draws the employer back to his/her recollection of your resume, which may well BE the deciding factor when competing with a hundred qualified candidates any edge is acceptable.
My four pence.
Andrea
