[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This week I've been part of a panel interviewing folks for an open position.  The first two folks we interviewed sent a thank-you email within 4 hours, the third candidate hasn't sent anything.  I wouldn't have cared if no-one sent a note, but because the first two folks did send one, I think less of the third because he didn't.

(One possibility is that the third candidate feels like he bombed the interview, and didn't send a note because he's already given up.)   [/quote]

I've never thought this way when I interview someone. I do not understand it at all. Does your employer know you take this stuff into account? If someone told me they were dinging candidates for this stuff, I would be livid. [b]They're not interviewing to be your friend[/b]. [/quote]

Lol.  That's exactly what most of my interviewers in a long career at one F500 company have been looking for.

They totally want people who pass their "have a beer with" / "airport test".

This a great disadvantage being a nerdy female applying for jobs controlled by alpha males.[/quote]
Actually, I disagree. By the final interviews, you know the candidates are qualified. At this point, I am looking at how this person will fit in with the organization. I know they can do the job, but I want to make sure they will be a good fit with our organization. Now, being a nerdy female would be a positive for me, but I understand what the PP is getting at.[/quote]
