Interviewed but forgot to get business card

Published

So I had an interview today as a new grad in a Dialysis unit. I was interviewed by the facilitating administrator and the nurse manager. At the end of the interview, nurse manager gave me a tour around the unit, and then before she shook my hand for dismissal, she told me I am high on the list and that she will talk to the administrator about it. HOWEVER, AFTER I got home I FORGOT that I didn't take her business card!! I want to send her a thank you letter in email, but dont know what to do? I called and asked secretary for email, and they said they don't know what it is.

What should I do?

I am worried. Should I go there tomorrow and talk to her? Should I call her? or Should I just not do anything?

Thank you in advance!

If you remember her name, address is to her with the hospital address, be sure to include the department as well.

Good Luck!!

So you're saying I should mail a thank you card ?

Hi again:

Yes. Most definitely send a thank you card by regular mail. It is a nice personal touch and shows you are interested.

Do you think it's okay if I fax the letter? I don't have her email address but i'm afraid sending a card would take too long. I am not sure how to obtain her email as well..

or maybe i should hand deliver it?

If you live close by and it is appropriate, hand-deliver it (you may have to give it to HR depending on the structure/ policies of the hospital). Or just mail it, and then hope for the best. I think if you fax it, it would be inappropriate, as faxing is for things like patient records. Did you do Google searches to see if any contact information comes up for the interviewer?

You won't want to fax it because you cannot be assured it will actually get to her. Your best bet is sending a nice note in the mail.

Put her first and last name

Department

Name of hospital

address of hospital

You could hand deliver the mail but not bring it directly to her, either at the front desk or through HR is your best bet. Typically it should get to her within a few days.

Wishing you the best of luck. It is always great to receive a real piece of mail.

Honestly i wouldn't do anything but i'm an old fashion guy that ends all interviews with a big smile and a firm handshake.

I don't know how long it would take for them to respond . Facility admin said he has other applicants and doesn't know when he will be able to get back to me but he will while the nurse manager told me I am high on the list and he would talk to admin about it .
