I believe that a grateful attitude ALWAYS wins out when everything else is equal. The interviewee can never truly know when "everything else IS equal" so why not try to tip the scales in your favor??? #Jeff→

Wonderful article! As someone who has interviewed many people before, I can reaffirm that those who humbly and sincerely expresed their gratitude for the opportunity to interview always scored well for me. A person who remembers to share his or her gratitude often has many other quailities that are superior to those who are lazy or forgetful with their thanks. I'm a first time reader and look forward to many more great ideas! Jim Berigan Hi! Wonderful article!

Thank you Ron! Being gracious is a quality that is special and needful for the hearer and the giver. Those 2 little sincere words are worth more than just money! They can change a person's life. Or at least enhance it. :smile: Thank you for writing this post! May it be used to change the attitudes of those not used to giving it or hearing it. :smile: LP Wonderful article! Thank you Ron!

Tue, 20 May 2008 17:28:31 +0000 http://www.thewisdomjournal.com/Blog/?p=173#comment-1940 I was offered my last job because I sent thank you notes to everyone who interviewed me. My former employer told me that by just sending those few cards (max 15 minute investment) I showed that I had what it takes to be a team player and treat people with respect (two very important qualities for that particular work). If I hadn't had taken the time and little effort to be polite, well I wouldn't have gotten the job. They were going to offer it to somebody else until they got those little cards in the mail. Great article. I was offered my last job because I sent thank you notes to everyone who interviewed me.

From my experience, very few people do this and it helps to set yourself apart. For me, it gives me a positive impression of the applicant. An email is too easy, but a letter takes a little effort and demonstrates more initiative. I personally prefer typed letters to handwritten in a business scenario, but I think either method is better than letting the opportunity slip by without doing anything. Great suggestions!

I think too many people get caught up in trying to present the "perfect" image in interviews that they forget to be natural and polite. The "perfect" image is being someone that people can relate to and are comfortable around. Saying thank you is a small, but important way to let people know you appreciate them. Great article.
