Does anyone send and/or have received post interview thank you notes? I just received one from a candidate I interviewed and it's been a while since I have received one. Just looking for thoughts ...

I always send them. It's common courtesy.

Believe post interview thank yous are a must. If you want the job it's the least you can do.

I don't send thank-you notes, but I receive thank-you cards from every person that interviews me, probably because I'm so charming and witty.

Yes I sent them recently after my interviews and the ones that responded sent me offers so I think they appreciated it.

Interesting.... I have sent them in the past when I was applying to more jr level roles. Was having a discussion with my colleagues about it, is it common courtesy to thank a person for their time. Or respect their time and headspace and not send

I sent handwritten thank you cards for a job I really wanted...Everyone I interviewed kept them at their desks! 👌

I tend to receive quite a few from entry level folks. I always write an email if I can get the contact info during an interview, especially if I want it.

I always at least write an email. And prefer to send/get a hand written note. It's shows that the person is serious and really wants the position.

I send a thank you email a week or two after the interview. It is a good way to show interest and follow up. Also, good to touch on a couple shared topics, reinforces interest and attention to detail.

I've sent hand written notes.

^Agree. Just received thank you notes (emails or written) from 3 of 5 candidates. I noticed.

Sometimes makes the difference. I have only gotten one once. I send them and always get a positive comment about them when I am hired

I've received hand written notes and emails, and while it's nice, it doesn't influence who I hire.

Always at least an email.

Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

Hi all,

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done. A month ago the recruiter said that they are waiting on some approvals and once it is done we will be issuing the offer letter but I haven't heard back any other update since then. Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
