Absolutely! If you and another person are being considered for the job, who do you think the interviewer will pick?
Of course the one that showed he is considerate and polite. That person will get along with other co workers.

Of course you should. A thank you letter shows that you are appreciative and that your really want the job. It also shows that you're mature and serious. There is nothing negative about a thank you letter.
Just the same way you should call the employer days after the interview to see if they'll hire you, you should also write the thank you note. It really does show your interest in the job and it won't seem as if it is "too much". If I were you, I would write it as soon as I get a chance.
P.S. Good question to consider.

Use your best judgement. Here's my take on it:
I am an engineering manager. When a candidate leaves, I score them (and everyone who interviewed them scored them) and we end up comparing all the candidates and offering a job to the best fit/qualified. A few days later I MAY get a thank you card. Usually I think it is a bit much. It doesn't sway me either way. And I file it and forget about it.
However, I'm sure there are some occupations out there (or some people in those occupations) that have a hang-up about getting a thank you card. If you don't send one, maybe you'll be on their s-list. I've personally never heard of it.
So my take is: most jobs it will not matter either way. To be safe, send one...at worst it will be ignored, at best, someone may be expecting one and you just made the right impression.

yes, you should because it seperates you from other applicants, and you get a chance to reiterate your qualifications for the job. You can also mention something important that you forgot to tell your interviewer. I suggest you send a thank you letter asap after the interview.

(The one who is not a kiss-***...you thanked them in the interview and you don't have to re-thank them any more than you had to thank them for granting you the interview!)
Of course the one that showed he is considerate and polite. That person will get along with other co workers.
(IF YOU CAN'T CONVEY THAT IN PERSON HOW THE HECK WITH A THANK YOU LETTER DO IT!
NO NO NO! IT ABSOLUTELY SMACKS OF DESPERATION!)

Yes if your interview was in 1950. No if it was present day. The decision about you would be made before they got your letter anyway. Just thank them when you are there.

Absolutely yes. This reminds the interview that you are still interested and that you enjoyed the session.

Yes. Not only does it show courtesy, and thoughfullness, but it gets you name back into their heads, which might be the little something extra that you need, particularly if there are several, well qualified applicants for the same position.

Absolutely. A thank you card is even better; hand-written and relatively brief. Ideally, you would mail it the same evening as you had the interview.
