What are your thoughts on sending thank you notes after phone screens/recruiter calls/interviews? I have a few roles I’ve been talking to recruiters for that I’m excited over and want to indicate that interest but also don’t want to come off too eager?

Just do it - there is literally no downside. No one will ever say “why did this person thank me for my time?”

You should be completely honest with recruiters. They are personally motivated to get you the job because that's how they get paid. Definitely let them know.

I always do. It's a simple thank you for consideration.

Too eager? No employer will ever worry about that.

It will separate you from 97% of candidates.

I’ve probably done 50 interviews this year, and gotten 2 emails and 1 card.

On the other hand, I’ve mailed gifts to at least 4 candidates I really liked.

Stop overthinking this and send the email. It's a human decency thing. They'll appreciate it for what it is - a two-sentence email - without psychoanalyzing you and your reasoning for sending it.

She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
