Another job interview question

[Anonymous]

Is it okay to write an email thank you? And what if you interviewed before a panel each with individual hiring authority but it is obvious some of them will not extend an offer. Do you send an email to everyone on the panel because they will probably talk to each other and find out that only some of them got thank yous.

I do email thank you notes. Much faster. But if this is a very formal workplace, finance or law, paper might be better.

To everyone.

You can send an email to the main person (HR or your future supervisor) and include a line that says "Please extend my thanks to Joe, Bob and Sally as well."

If government, definitely email. We have a terrible delay on regular mail and you really want the thank you to show up quickly.

I hire annually and I think email is fine.

OP here. Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of "Please extend my thanks to Joe, Bob and Sally as well" but I don't know if they collectively select a candidate who may work for any one of those on the panel or whether each interviewer can hire the particular interviewee to work for him/her. I think it is the latter case. So I think it may be better to send each person on the panel a separate email thank you. I'm not sure what to say to the panelists who were not interested though. Maybe something along the lines of general thank you?

Email- and send one to EVERYONE.

I prefer paper thank you notes. I've had them returned to sender though when sent to government offices.

Email everyone a thank you and include something specific that is different for each person
