Lethal Job Interview Mistakes

Recommended Answer:
No absolutely not, it will be appreciated. You should send it, 2 days ago isn't bad anyway. If it was Saturday and you were saying this, yeah that might be a little too late, but something is always better than nothing. Send it as soon as you can. [:

Assorted Job Interview Techniques

• Nope. I would send it right away.
  
  An alternative is to send a card in the mail -- sometimes it helps to give the appearance that the reason you haven't thanked them yet has more to do with buying stamps and envelopes than it does with your carelessness or interest in the job.
  
  However, given that the soonest that a card would arrive would probably be on Saturday -- and then it wouldn't be received until Monday at the earliest -- I would just do email instead. The longer they have to wait for it, the longer you are out of their minds.


• depends --- when did they say they would make a decision? if it was a few days/weeks - SEND A REAL THANK YOU NOTE! email thank you's are not taken very seriously. Send a real written thank you letter - white stationary and not a hallmark card - you may not get the job - BUT you will get remembered - and ultimately someone will remember you with a job offer.
  
  if it was more like we will be making the decision in a day -- send it anyway and it will remind them of your interview - time lines often don't work out the way they were planned... and next time mail it the night or next morning after the interview. Write it in ink, legibly and proof carefully for errors -- that can kill your chances as well.


• No, it is not too late, 2-3 days is a good turn-around on sending it. If you send it the same day, the recruiter just goes oh, that's nice, I remember him, and sets it aside. Send it a couple of days later, the recruiter goes, hmm, do I remember them? Maybe they do, if they don't, they will probably go back and have another look at your resume/application/interview paperwork. Which never hurts.


• No, send it.
