Yes! Make it relevant and pick out things discussed in interview but keep it brief.

Exactly. I always have done it and it never takes more than a couple minutes and it can’t hurt, only help. Especially love it on rare occasions when they reply since it’s a sign it was actually a good conversation

like

I've always sent a short "thank you for your time, I enjoyed our conversation on "X", I'm excited for the future". I have had a 70% conversion rate from interview to offer over a 15 year career
I will continue sending it out.

Yes the correct answer. Brief, gracious, and relevant.

Anyone who reacts poorly to a kindly worded thank you note is a Scrooge

If someone reacts poorly to a gracious and brief thank you note, that is not someone who I want to work for.

Unbelievable that this could ever be negative

I do, just try your best to make it organic, ie pick up on something from the interview itself to cycle back to (don’t pick just any topic; zone in on an area of the interview where you came across as insightful and the conversation really flowed), “I was reflecting on our conversation about x and came across this article you may enjoy. Thanks again for your time - I look forward to hearing the outcome of the interview.”

This type of thank you helps them consider what you might be like as a day to day colleague. Don't over-sell it; it should be a couple of lines art most.

Yes. I send them after nearly every interview. If I don’t have the interviewer’s email, then I ask the recruiter to forward the thank you.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
