During the interview
Same. And spell out "you" in it please.
Not make or break for me in every case but it has lifted people I've interviewed from on the fence to 2nd interview.
Same
Is it actually critical to do? Maybe a nice gesture but I don't think they would take you out of the process for not writing one.
It's a make or break. Always write one
Always send a thank you email! I've passed on someone for not writing a thank you note.
Two equally good candidates. I went with the one who sent the thank you letter.
Same - get it out of the way ASAP
On the way
Within hours
If there's a quick turn around on second rounds (like undergrad or bschool recruiting) same day. In the real world I do next day. I found in real world they have you interview with lots of people (3-6 in my experience) so I take a little more time to personalize the notes.
Email vs hand written?
Wtf?! ^^ are you serious
Know people who do both
We make decisions at the end of the day. If you wait til the evening, you're already too late. Both rounds.
Absolutely mandatory and fine to email. I've dropped people who didn't send a thank you/follow up. But think about the message and don't use a standard cookie cutter. Personalize based on each person. And proofread that baby upside down and sideways.
Emails were sent! I have a final round tomorrow but it's a phone interview with my potential boss who's based out of the UK. No need to send a thank you email after that right? Since it's a phone interview...or should I? Acn1, were they even good candidates? Seems pretty small to not hire someone over it.
