text: Absolutely.\nContact and thank for interview and request status of application.\n\nConsider thanking the HR person a good step, and that don't fret being denied.\n\nI was denied here, and then a week later the person I thanked for setting up the interview set me up for a job in this company, which pays better and is more challenging, a blessing she denied me originally!\n\nAlways send the thank you email as soon as you can, practically a day or two.
