job interview--send thank you card or email?

alison43 · June 2010

I had the most bizarre interview ever for a teaching job--they had all the candidates come at once, and everyone had to write an essay, have a short interview, and do a "project" (sing or play a song). They don't expect to be scheduling second interviews for a few weeks so I figured it's a good idea to send a card to the superintendent (he was there overseeing the whole process).

Card or email? I worry with a card the secretary will open it and not forward it to him.

I've done a lot of hiring and I always appreciate a handwritten card as opposed to an email.

I vote for a hand written note.

i don't know about a card, but i always send a professional thank you letter after an interview (letter, mailed or faxed, not email).

I've also always sent an official thank you letter to everyone on the interview panel, and it was always mailed.

I think a handwritten note would be best.

I just finished a round of interviewing and would have found receiving an email a little too informal. I like the typed up thank-you letters. One applicant sent me a cutesy thank you card and it sort of made me question her maturity.

I prefer emails. In legal hiring we do tons of short interviews during the hiring season and many times decisions are made same day, a card comes too late to matter and an email is quick and easy to respond to if there is any necessary follow up.
