Do it, but make it specific, as well.

I recently had an interview with a panel of 11 people. Afterward I did a ton of sleuthing to get everyone's email address, not all of the worked for the institution so it was not easy. I called a couple orgs to get emails, etc.

One of the reasons I got the job, I found out later, was that I reached out to everyone (including 2 undergraduates on the commitee) and wrote not a generic thank you but a personal note that referenced something they had mentioned in the interview--a question, an idea, an experience, a concern, etc.

I turned down the job for other reasons, but I learned that in interviews, make sure you write notes about what each person says and contact them after and use that information to show that you were really listening to them and took to heart their position. (The job was a leadership one in which I would be overseeing a variety of people, from students to professionals older than I was so it was key to show taht I was collaborative, etc).


Thank you! I only found the LinkedIn profile for 3 out of the 6!

I mean a card for each of them. Mail them to each person at the address where you met.

If you can find one email address for the company, you should be able to figure out the format for their email unless they are one of the weird ones that put random letters/numbers at the end. Email is much better, but LinkedIn if you absolutely can't find email.


They didn't mention their last name either when we were introducing ourselves at the panel. I only found them through their picture on LinkedIn. Their email address have middle initials... [firstname].[middle initial].[lastname]@company.com.

I had an interview on Friday. The panel did not give me their business cards. I contacted the assistant who helped me schedule the interview but receive no response. I managed to find a few of them on LinkedIn.

Should I just go ahead and send them my thank you note via LinkedIn Message? Is it too late now? I know I should send a note within 24 hours but I was hoping assistant would forward their contact information.
