I want to do something nice for a contact in my network who passed along my book, which resulted in an interview. Pre-Covid I’d take them out for a coffee or mail a thank you note to their office. But now, I’d need their home address to mail a card or DoorDash them a coffee, which feels inappropriate.

Got any suggestions for a thank you gift in the “Time of Covid”? And don’t say E-card.

Do you have their phone number ? you can text a starbucks gift card. I’ve done that for coworkers as a thank you [when I would have bought coffee in person]

I’m with FCB 1. Wait until you get the job...people refer people within the network all the time. I don’t think it warrants a gift yet.

I'd still mail a thank you note to their office. My office still gets mail and packages, and the office manager people will ping you if you have something to pick up. Even if the person doesn't go to pick up your card, it will feel special that you mailed it. I'd also maybe email a gift card, sorry but what else is there! But make it really unique to their interests, not amazon or starbucks. Thriftbooks is an awesome site I love for cool used art books.

Just Google their name + city + plus the word “parcels” and you should find their address no problem

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
