    Send an email or call and thank them for interviewing with you and tell them that you are excited to hear from them about the position.

    Send an email thanking the manager and make a quick pitch on how you are well qualified based on what you heard at the interview.

    Wait a day or two- to give time for them to make a decision, and then if I haven’t heard anything ask them about it. (And if I didn’t get it, ask why, and then I will look for ways in my personal time to improve in those areas so I can get it next time - if it’s possible.

    If you have their contact info, a brief follow up email saying thank you for the time and consideration is still pretty common practice, but don't push for details or decisions. Also, I would advise against any other contact (such as adding people you met during the interview on LinkedIn).

    With a hand written note if possible, or with an email if that’s been the method of communication to date.

    Write a short note and indicate how you will be able to immediately bring value to the company. As a hiring manager I generally find the decision has already been made, these notes often don't make a lot difference in swaying a decision. What could make a difference is indicating something you will do that will make the hiring manager's life easier.

    Send a thank you letter or email. Do not start pestering about the job status right away. But if you do not hear anything in two weeks, certainly follow up by restating your interest and asking of there is any additional information you can provide

    Send an email thanking him//her the same day. Include contact details, and request when you should follow up again. Add any follow up details that you discussed. Possibly recap any areas where you believe you excel and are best for the position.

    Need to ask recruiter the process (hiring steps) and if haven’t heard back in a few days follow up. Companies sometime have other priorities that can delay, be patient.
