Pro tip: Pre-write generic handwritten thank you notes on good stationary ahead of time. Get the exact names (and titles) of everyone you interact with and put their names on envelopes after. Ask the secretary or whoever is your point of contact that day to deliver them on your way out of the building (don’t forget to address one to him/her also).

That was the gouge I got a few years ago and it seemed to work pretty well.

No. Don't do that. I interviewed in January of this year and were explicitly told not to do that from the people in HR.

Do not do this! United was very specific about it. Email is the way to go.

Had a bud do this. He said the interview went very well. But didn’t get the job. He said he didn’t want to, but was told to by an interview consulting company.

So you think he didn’t get the job because he wrote thank you notes?

I doubt it but I don't think it's appropriate to give a secretary a homework assignment on your way out.

I’m glad to hear they put an end to the card writing. Just as silly as needing to wear a red tie for a Delta interview.

Wait, what? I wore a red tie to the United interview. Was that wrong? ;)

You probably should have worn a shirt under it but whatever works. 😄

Yeah, I saw a few people with red ties. There was a guy with a plaid suit! I’m curious to see how it went for that guy.
