[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only time a thank you note ever made a difference to me was one candidate who we liked but her answer to one question (an important one about delegation which is critical in our field) had me on the fence.

In her thank you email, she very smoothly wrote about how she was excited for the chance to work with a larger group as her current place was very small and everyone kept to their own tasks because of it.   Worded better obviously but got the point across that delegation didn't really exist where she was and that's why she answered like she did.

We hired her, she was a fantastic employee. [/quote]

This is a good example of the value of the thank you note. It's not really about thanking the person, it's about one more opportunity to make the case that you are the right fit for the job. [/quote]

Exactly this. People who are saying they don’t think they should have to bother - that’s fine, but don’t think of it as saying “thank you”, see it as another chance to sell yourself. [/quote]

Interviewing is a conversation for them to learn more about you as a candidate and you to learn more about the role and the organization. Come prepared, but you don't need to "sell yourself." If you really think you left something off when you interviewed, by all means rectify that. [/quote]
