Hi Guys,
I had referred my friend in CTS, who joined in Feb 2022 & will complete 3 months (active payroll) on 15-May-2022. I received a mail confirming my referral acceptance.
Meanwhile, I have handed in my papers & am serving my notice period with my LWD being 23-May-2022. In this case, will I receive the referral bonus?

I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

I'll admit as a hiring manager, I am more impressed by the candidates who took the time to acknowledge our meeting and remind me as to why they are a good fit for the position. It shows they took time to think about the interview and what was discussed.
Definitely. Sending one definitely won’t hurt your chances but not sending one might. The hiring managers may not care either way, but if it comes down to 2 candidates, and one of them wrote a note and one didn’t, that could be the deciding factor. It also shows professionalism and it’s another chance to stand out.
what's the big deal? Its the right thing to do regardless, probably took you longer to post here than to write one
If I care, yes absolutely
The fact that this question was asked speak volumes
Likely a Gen Z.
Sounds like you aren't doing it right.
Use the email as an opportunity to further establish and differentiate yourself and deepen rapport
Some ways to do that:
Remind the interviewer about a discussion point from the convo that differentiates you as a applicant
reference a moment where you discovered you had a shared philosophy on something
Express you enthusiasm for their vision and offer a build to it
Etc
I think we should also be tightening up recruitment processes at organizations and holding internal teams accountable through the hiring process.
I send handwritten thank you’s when I really care. Every time I have done it I have gotten the job offer…. And I’ve declined 3 offers where I have done this because I had multiple offers at the same time. Coincidence or not…. I think it proves we should all be sending hand written thank you notes.
I definitely agree it it outdated but I send it to interviewers I know go in the office. Whether it takes a week or not…. Given if you have a good interview….. it will solidify their decision to push you to the next round. If you make the letter out to the office.. someone received the mail, packages etc. every one I have sent I have received feedback from the interviewer how thoughtful and personal this touch was. Also, if you are on top of it and send it same day as your interview, odds are they’ll receive it around the time they actually get to discussing the interview with the team.
What a missed opportunity if you don’t
Yes, absolutely send a thank you. It can be brief, great to mention something specific that was talked about, sent same day or following morning. I notice when people do not.
They are getting flooded with AI generated responses. This is an opportunity to send a short and sweet note in your own human voice.
I’m glad to know I’m in the majority for this one. I’ve learned that the ones who send TYs are the ones who actually care about the position and turn out to be positive additions to the team. So if I don’t get a thank you, I most likely do not consider you for the role
Absolutely. I definitely remember when people don’t send them. It’s ridiculous to think otherwise. Like were you raised by wolves? Especially now where you can use AI to write it - there are no excuses. And in such a competitive job market. Like do you even want the job?
Lmao ok now youre being rude.
In my experience, the majority of hiring managers notice (and often comment) when they don't receive a thank you or follow-up email from a candidate they're interested in. Definitely send a well crafted note that references something from your meeting.
While a handwritten note sounds nice, it often arrives too late to be relevant. Email is best.
imo it doesn't disqualify you if you don't, but it definitely is noticed and appreciated when you do.
I agree with you. I don’t expect a thank you note, but whenever I receive one, I appreciate it. However, I don’t think people should be forced to abide by this sentiment that you need to thank someone just for doing their job either.
All my job offers came after thank you notes
Thank you all for your feedback. Taking this as a learning as I move forward :)
What? Ae you 12?

I always do, even if I didn’t like the person. To me it’s common courtesy to thank someone for their time and consideration.
Noone sends a thank you letter. If I were hiring I wouldn't even read it. And I'd think it makes the candidate look desperate.
Agreed—- always send a thank you.
Don't then. Someone else more savvy and gracious will get the jobs you are interviewing for.
100% thank you notes matter! It is sad that we have to debate something that shows care and professionalism.
