Thank you letter for accepting a job?

[kirish34]

Hi Everyone,

So I was just offered my first job woo!! The offer was over the telephone and I informed the recruiter that I accepted the position. I am waiting for the actual offer in writing in the mail. Should I send a thank you letter once I receive the offer in the mail? I've heard before that it is proper, but I wasn't sure if people actually did this. If yes, should I send it to both the nurse recruiter and the manager? or just the nurse recruiteR? Thanks for your input!

You do not have to wait for the offer letter. Normally it is good practice to send a thank you letter following each intervew. You'd send it to everyone you came into contact with throughout your interview. You are sending a thank you for the interiew time, it is supposed to show that you appreciate the consideration & that you're truly interested in the company/facility/clinic whatever. It's a nicety & not everyone does it. Good luck in your new job.
