Just had an interview for a new graduate nurse residency program today. The recruiter told us that if we wanted to send post-interview thank-you notes to the interview team we would have to send them to her directly and she will pass them along to the people who interviewed us. So I sent her an email after my interview asking if she would pass along my thank-you note. I never heard back from her, and now it's the weekend. I've heard that you should send the thank-you note 24-48 hours after your interview. I am worried the recruiter didn't forward my email in time. Should I just send a thank-you email directly to the people who interviewed me even though the recruiter told us to send it to her first? I have never heard of this before, usually I've been told just to email the hiring managers directly for thank-you notes. I guess I could send a hand written thank-you although that might get there too late. Lastly does anyone think that thank-you notes actually help your chances of getting a job? Thanks!
