Absolutely tantamount to your success and any candidate who doesn’t send me cookies and ice cream will be blackballed.

Pretty big importance. I’d recommend doing it because the people on the other end will remember you if you thank them. It’s a simple yet effective task. I’ve found the best way to say thank you is to schedule a mariachi band for their office space. Landed multiple jobs doing this.

I always mark candidates that don't send notes as "strong object" /s

Would you send a thank you note to all the participants in the interview?

That’s not how thank you notes work...

It’s not that it’s an automatic “no” - but if an equally qualified candidate sends a good follow up and you don’t, it might give them an edge

I haven’t worked for many months, and am starting my new job soon. I no longer have a routine, and am worried that I have “forgotten” how to work. I used to be able to do 10-12 hours/day in the office, but now I don’t think I can do 5. How do I get my work ethic back?
