Email, Voicemail or Handwritten Thank You?

Sending a thank you note can sometimes be the deal breaker in getting that job. All too often, I hear after an interview candidates do not send a thank you note to the interviewer.  Unfortunately, this is is a no-no.

Taking the time to say "thank you" for the interview is so important. However, it is so simple to send a quick email or leave a voice mail for the interviewer. Does this sound personal and just get it over with attitude? Yes. In the article (link below), "The Power of the Thank You Note," Ron Ameln quickly describes that sending a handwritten note is more personal and could be the factor for the employer to pick up the phone and say, "you're hired."

So, don't underestimate the power of sending a quick thank you note after an interview. It could be all you need to get that job!
