Failing to follow up.
It is very crucial that you send this thank-you mail. You can also save it in your calendar! You can even scribble some notes on the palm of your hand if you have to just so you can remember to follow up.
Strictly following a general outline.
Don’t use verbatim the outline you want to employ as the premise of your thank you email. If you do this, you’ll have a generic email, which your interviewer could also find online. Ensure that your email sound very original. You can also discuss something that is not covered in the outline, but ensure that this extra content makes sense and that it will enable your interviewer to understand that the interview meant a lot to you.
