Thank you notes – even after phone interviews.
Here’s a great resource for thank you notes! Thank you notes are a great thing. They give us one more chance to touch the hiring manager. My hiring manager called me a week after a phone interview (with one of my candidates). BTW – we had been playing phone tag – that is a long time for some feedback. We spoke about the candidate. The manager felt that the candidate was qualified but was reluctant to say that he wanted to move the candidate forward. Then he asked if the candidate had talked with me after the interview and did the candidate ask for the hiring manager’s email address. Yes, I had talked with the candidate and no - she had not asked for the email address. Kiss of death. That simple piece of information was the tipping point for him. The candidate is a no go. Why? Probably, in this case it was only another data point. But some managers feel it is a key piece of information. Of course, most of my jobs are in a sales/marketing capacity and management feels that if you don’t use all the tools to persuade them in your job search, you won’t use all of the tools you need to be successful in their position.

I agree about the necessity of a thank you note but as a job seeker I am curious if you think an email thank you is the best way to go, and if maybe a same day thank you email and then a handwritten thank you card on good hi-grade professional stationary would not be an even better idea.
Thanks for your input.
