Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents. Then after a week received a call from HR saying that due to some technical issue, the skills round will happen again and an online assessment was set up. In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?

I always send. Think it’s a nice touch to thank them for their time.
It may not help, but it definitely will not hurt.
Sorry, i meant to reply to the comment above previously but I disagree with your statement. It depends on the situation, if I am a great candidate who has multiple offers and your company is profiting of my labor, I would argue that I am the one in the position of power. We’re not always desperate for a job.
I was actually shocked that I got zero thank you emails for the last position I was hiring for. I definitely think people should still send them!
I’ve recently started sending eff you emails instead
So incredibly stupid and short sighted.
Absolutely!
Send a thank you for the interview.
Send a thank you for an offer.
Even if you get a rejection, send emails to say thank you and ask to be remembered for future openings.
I’ve eliminated people who don’t send a thank you note. It’s a nice touch that thanks people who took the time to meet with you.
Yes I try to do it the next day. I also like to comment on something specific to show I’m still thinking about it.
Also honestly seeing your name pop up in their inbox can’t hurt with keeping you top of mind esp with multiple candidates.
Yes. People who don’t send thank you emails lose a few points for me. Maybe not many points - but can play in the deciding factor between 2 equally great candidates: one seeming more motivated / having better manners.
Seriously? If I don’t receive a thank you note, I don’t consider the candidate.
Yes. I hired an intern on the fact that she was the only one that sent me a thank you letter. I was undecided between her and another and that helped me decide.
Are manners suddenly uncool?
Yes, it never hurts to send one!! I always try to pick out something specific we talked about (a project I mentioned I worked on previously, a fun topic/opinion we had in common, etc.) and provide more details or just say how much I enjoyed talking to them about it. Whenever I get a response back it usually signals something good is coming, and will come days or even weeks before HR gets back to me, so it takes off some of the stress of waiting to hear back too.
I recently had an interview and it made me super excited so started writting an email that I was going to send to the manager thanking him for the time but then got the call from HR offering me the job so I ended up not sending it.
I usually don't send follow up emails but I do think they are a nice touch and it brings you forward in their minds if that makes sense.
Send it. It’ll make you stand out from the people who don’t. (Most don’t nowadays.)
I don’t expect them. It’s an outdated practice that favors people who understand the unspoken rules of corporate.
That’s sad to hear. I have always sent thank you notes /emails after interviews. When I’ve been hired, I have mailed a handwritten note.
If I interview a writer, I absolutely expect to receive one. If someone doesn’t take the time to send a thank you note, I won’t hire them.
It is an easy way to remind them who you are and so so simple.
100% yes
It’s definitely a nice gesture and appreciated! As a hiring manager, it doesn’t necessarily make me change my mind about someone I wasn’t 100% feeling though.
I think it’s a good thing to do and always appreciate it!
I always do. I think it’s always nice to follow up and thank them. It puts your name in front of them. It may help set you apart.
