Re: Had an interview this morning. Do I send a "thank you"

I always e-mail the same day. And being in HR, I like it when I receive a thank you the same day or even the next AM.

Thanks ladies...I just sent it.

Re: Had an interview this morning. Do I send a "thank you"

I sent an e-mail at my last interview and my boss said he appreciated it b/c he knew I was being sincere.

Re: Had an interview this morning. Do I send a "thank you"

I have done both (email and hand writen them) - depending on the company / corporate culture.

I was also told once that you should put something in the thank you note to sort of "remind" the interviewer who you are. For example, if you discussed the fact that you both worked on the NYSE, say something in your THank you like "I really enjoyed learning about your experiences at NYSE and how you benefitted from that experience when you joined Company X."

Hope that helps!!!!!!

Yes, a same-day, e-mailed thank you note is perfectly appropriate, and appreciated. Take the opportunity to make another "sales pitch" for yourself -- reiterate how your assets as a candidate are a good match with the company's needs.

Good luck!
