I always try to write at least four lines, particularly one mentioning how much I value the interviewer's time.Kate Hutchinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664981385715429246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393438931137369662.post-25268495575794187752008-05-01T22:29:00.000-04:002008-05-01T22:29:00.000-04:00Kate - <BR/>Thanks for the link. I enjoy your blog!<BR/><BR/>Typically, I actually prefer typed thank you notes - to avoid the handwriting issues that you mention.<BR/><BR/>There is a place for the handwritten note, though. As long as the note contains the same type of in-depth information that you might write if you typed it (and it is easy to read), an old-fashioned note can certainly make you stand out.<BR/><BR/>Hand writing a quick, “Thank you for interviewing me” on a note card probably isn’t going to win you many points.<BR/><BR/>Since so many people don't write a thank you note at all, sending something of substance, either typed or written, is a step in the right direction.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to keeping in touch and keeping the conversation going!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Miriam Salpeter<BR/>Keppie Careerskeppiehttp://keppiecareers.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393438931137369662.post-46201498928676852402008-04-30T18:54:00.000-04:002008-04-30T18:54:00.000-04:00I couldn't agree more... at my last job, the competition for internships became so heated that we actually ended up picking several interns based on their thank you notes. Several wrote lovely ones, so it went down to the stationary they picked! It seems trivial, but with the way the job market is these days, you never can be too careful.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02897662760172687421noreply@blogger.com
