Interview follow-up

[mmwen]

I am wondering how many of you sent a follow-up thank you note to your interviewers? Is it proper etiquitte?

[sandman1]

Yes!

[CougRN]

I did and they liked it, I got in.

Would it be ok to send an email or should it be a more formal handwritten note? I was one of the last to interview last week, and they will be making decisions next week. Thank you for your replies!

Handwritten-- always!

Just about everyone can dash off an email..takes no time, very little consideration.

[sandman1]

I very much agree

[apaisRN, RN, CRNA]

Who do you address the note to? I was interviewed by three people, plus the admissions director has been very helpful. Also, I feel like a thank-you note should be handwritten, but if I typed it up I could send it to each of these folks without getting hand cramps. What's the consensus?

[TLC RN]

Handwritten...not sure to whom but for sure handwritten is better even if you suffer hand cramps.

[apaisRN, RN, CRNA]

I agree, my gut says handwritten.

[AmiK25]

My gut also says handwritten, however, I sent an e-mail. There were two reasons: 1) The school interviewed this week and they are making decisions Monday-no time for a thank you card to arrive. 2) This particular school does ALL correspondence by e-mail, including acceptances.

Yes for sending a thank you letter. I send a word processed one, following a guideline for thank you notes from the internet. My hand writing is ok, but thought the computer generated note would be more formal.
