What Not to do After an Interview

In the job search, there’s nothing like performing well at the interview. And after researching the company, practicing your presentation and answering the interview questions with confidence, you want to follow up with something impressive.
You want to thank the employer with a gesture that makes the company want to hire you — or at least bring you back for another round of interviews.
This is the point when some people come up with what they believe are clever ways to thank people for the interview. Sadly, these attempts at being memorable can leave the wrong impression with the interviewer.
Avoid these unconventional thank-you “don’ts” in your job search:

Ha.....as silly as it sounds, I know people who have done the Facebook stalking, which absolutely ruined any type of possibility of landing the job.

I couldn't agree more! I would wait about three or four days(minimum) to follow up with a phone call.
