Sending a Thank You email instead of letter..

[NurseQT]

Had an interview yesterday and job shadow today, I would like to send a thank you note, I interviewed with the Perioperative Clinical Manager of a huge hospital, I'm afraid a handwritten card/letter sent via snail mail wouldn't get to her, would an emailed thank you note be ok?

For me ... as someone who interviews people and receive such notes ... an e-mail would be fine. It would be fine for most of my colleagues. A snail mail note would take several days to wind its way across town, to our mail room, to my office, etc. An e-mail would be quicker and more certain of reaching me.

However, I can't speak for the manager in question. Have you had other e-mail communications with her? Does she seem like an e-mail kind of person? Did she give you her e-maill address and say, "Feel free to e-mail me with any questions" or anything like that?
