Is it annoying to some employers or shows you really want the job? Do alot of people send them?

I've never sent thank you letters after interviews.

It makes good impressions.

For some. For others, they roll their eyes and throw the letter away.

 But bet on the first one.

Bad idea. Don't do anything extra if they see you're desperate they'll pass on you.

I would just call and do a follow up.

Don't do it.. it seems desperate.

Seems desperate in my opinion.

Every little bit helps.  Trust me, I applied at a job for a McDonalds, gave them a full professional resume, (I made it myself, I've just had professional training) sent them a follow-up letter, and dressed up in a SUIT to the interview, and still didn't get the job.

.... although maybe thats why...... SHIT!!

You're supposed to. Or well you should.
My friend went in for a job interview, and she didn't think she was going to make it because she just didn't seem qualifiedor confident in herself. But she sent a great thank you letter in, and got called back in for another interview.

Don't ... if they keep contacting you like keeping in touch and stuff, they might be talking to their board. If i were you id wait.

Okay. But call on the deadline of when they say they'll make the final decision? Or the day after?

Send it.

People who have no experience with corporate jobs/internships should refrain from posting here.

"ass kissing technique"
well, if you want to get to where you want, then you'll be doing a lot of those ass kissing techniques throughout your life. Get used to it.
