I’ll probably get a lot of downvotes for this, but why exactly should I send a thank-you email?

What about the potential employer – why don’t they send one to me? I took the time to prepare my application, sent them all my documents, and showed up for the interview.

I’m not begging for a job – I’m applying for one. They’re looking for someone who will generate more value for the company than they’ll pay in salary. That’s a business transaction, not charity.

So again – why should I be the one to send a thank-you email?

Personally, I think it’s enough to thank them in person during the interview.

Because keeping the line of communication open is good. You're one of dozens of applicants, so you want them to focus on you.
