DEAR ABBY: Is the art of a Thank You Note dead?? Should I still send one? Should I send one after each interview if there are multiple rounds?? If I’m not interested in the position, should I still send a Thank You?
Call me old fashioned but…ALWAYS SEND A THANK YOU!! I love a Thank You after each round. I have never seen anyone get disqualified because they were too gracious.
I have had multiple hiring managers tell me they will not hire someone if they don’t send a Thank You.
An email works great! I have seen people do hand-delivered notes but I definitely don’t think that is necessary. If it is a group interview then you can either do a combined Thank You or you can personalize each one – I think either gets the intent across!
A Few Pointers:
- Highlight a few things that you spoke about in the interview to make sure it’s personalized
- If you have any additional questions, this is a great place to ask
- Reinforce how your background is relevant for the position
- Assuming you’re interested in moving forward, let them know and ask for next steps
- If you aren’t interested in moving forward, thank them for their time and let them know that you are pursuing other opportunities at this time but would love to stay connected
