Thanks for the tips! What do you think about sending a thank you card in the mail instead of just an email?

The thought is nice, though they may receive it after a rejection; not the end of the world, but it could happen. And an email is more immediate, if they hold a strong merit towards a thank you (which we do not know if they do or not typically) I would want it to get to them sooner rather than later. In debriefs (when recruiters and the hiring team meet), sometimes thank yous are discussed. Will your mail version be there in time?

Great points! I’m kinda old school and like the personal quality of a handwritten note. But you’re right. Email is more immediate. Thank you!

Many people don't realize that interviewing is a skill in itself. We often assume it'll purely evaluate our professional and technical abilities, but it's actually a unique communication art that requires practice and preparation as you mentioned.

Thanks for sharing!
