Do you think it’s possible to lose a job offer because you didn’t send a thank you email?

I am going to do a hot take and say I don’t think so. If I interview someone and like them
I’m not waiting for a thank you email I just say I like them let’s hire them. I’ve never considered that factor once. And if I don’t think they’re right for the job a thank you email wouldn’t change my mind either.

Not sending a thank you email may not cost you a job, but it certainly doesn’t hurt. Just do it!

Very possible. Tough lesson to learn.

Yes. But it would have to be a situation where everything else was equal between two candidates

Yeah. I’d say so.

Yep!

Some people are waiting on the thank you note to inform you of next steps. Thank you doesn’t come, neither does 2nd interview, offer, etc.

What about when there are multiple people? Say you had a personal contact from HQ agency reach out to contact 2 at other location who then sent directions to contact 3 at the same location to set up an interview with two creatives. I formally thanked the creatives and thanked the 2nd and 3rd in context with a more formal thank you to the 1st one.

Unfortunately I bet for some people it’s yes. Personally, I’ve always had communications move very quick. Interview, next steps, possible second interview, hire. Twice now I’ve not even had time to send a thank you before I heard from HR. It really depends.

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

Some cars you dreamed about when you were younger that when you got to the age where you could drive one, you realized, man, I’d rather be in something else!

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely.
