Interview thank you notes

Published

Is it alright to send a thank you note via email if the manager provided their email during the interview? Or should it be sent via snail mail?

I would send them a card so they can plunk it on their desk and have it stare them in the face every morning. (that's what I did) :)

i typically just send an email. of course i am still unemployed, so maybe you should try the other method. haha.

lol, Dumplins. I did go ahead and mail it. I'm hoping it gets there before I go back to shadow on the unit later this week.

I think that an email thank you is acceptable in this day and age :).

These days, I would send it e-mail ... because the position might get filled in the time it takes for snail mail to reach the person. When people send me a thank-you e-mail, I am OK with it. I think most people are OK with it.

Glad to hear so many in favor of email. I had another interview this week followed by shadowing today. I was pretty much given an informal offer today. I want to send a thank you for the shadowing opportunity and would like it to get there before I get the official offer, so email is pretty much my only option in this instance.

Thanks for all the opinions!

I had and interview today and I am trying to decide if I should send a thank you note via email. I think I may, it will be much faster.

Robin, just wanted to let you know how my experience turned out. I had two interviews last week. One I mailed the TY as soon as I got home from the interview. The other one, I emailed the TY a few days after my interview (after I shadowed on the unit). I got an offer yesterday from the unit where I emailed the letter...so at least in my experience, emailing seems to be alright. Good luck in your job search!

I had my interview on a Wed., sent my thank you note via email on that Thurs. morning and was offered a position that Thurs. afternoon. From my experience an emailed thank you was just fine.
