Why You Should Never Skip the Interview Thank-You Note

I always feel like a jerk telling people to send a thank-you note, but I know if I don’t, it might not happen. In this week’s US News & World Report post, I wrote about why a thank-you note is such an important part of the interview process. Don’t skip it, ever (even if you aren’t interested in the position!).

Great piece! As a recruiter, I always insisted that my candidates send thank you notes. It always amazed me what a big difference such a small follow-up task could make in the interview process. I often saw my candidates chosen over others simply because they sent a nice thank you note after an interview. Very easy…but very important! Your post is a good reminder.
