Didn't Thank Interviewer

<p>I COMPLETELY FORGOT to thank the three interviewers I have had so far! Two interviewed me a week ago, one over a month ago. Should I send thank yous at this point?</p>

<p>I totally forgot about thank-you notes! Your post just reminded me, so I sent a very late thank you note to my interviewer! </p>

<p>Better late than never..?</p>

<p>What exactly did you do? Stand up and say ok, bye? LOL</p>

<p>Wow, just realized I forgot to send thank yous as well. I'm going to say that my e-mail was just returned even though I had my interview 6 months ago!</p>

<p>chronicfuture12, it'll be obvious that that's just a flat-out lie.</p>

<p>Thank you notes are absolutely unnecessary. If you thanked your interviewer before you left, that's fine. No need for thank you notes. They're just nice. Quite frankly, if I were an interviewer, I wouldn't care about a thank you e-mail sent a month after the interviewer.</p>

<p>dont send now, you're just highlighting the fact that you didn't send it beforee</p>

<p>@2-iron: You're doomed, you ungrateful punk. Yeah, ok, not really. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>As dchow said, a thank-you note is nice but certainly not required after an interview. Not having sent a thank-you note will not reflect negatively on you at all; nobody would say, "Gee, I interviewed this kid and he didn't send me a thank-you note -- fail." Sending one now would probably be a little weird.</p>

<p>I assume you ended the interview with pleasantries of some sort; that was plenty. Leave it at that and don't worry.</p>

<p>don't worry about it. Just email them now and say a thank you. I had forgotten about my first interviewer, and I emailed her several weeks after. No biggie, and when i got into that school, she even emailed me to congratulate me.</p>

<p>heh, I regularly e-mail the one woman that interviewed me.</p>

<p>she cute too :D</p>

<p>Interviewers see so many applicants that, while I'm sure thank-you notes are appreciated, I doubt an interviewer will remember if you thanked them or not. It's not a big deal.</p>

<p>But... uh... do NOT send a thank-you note six months after the fact. They probably won't remember you, and it will just be odd.</p>

<p>So, the consensus here is a week or two late, no big deal...over a month, don't bother. Cool.</p>

<p>And I ended the interview with a firm handshake. I pride myself on my handshaking skills :)</p>

<p>Well, sending a thank you note the second you get home would be awkward right? And I'm relatively certain most people send in their reports within a week or so. So really, it kinda comes down to a sheer manners. Important, but it's not going to get you denied haha</p>

<p>Good man! I'll take a firm handshake over a thank-you note any day. A few years back, while interviewing candidates for a job, the committee (all women) compared notes after a particular candidate had left. All five of us had written down a negative impression based on his limp handshake. He wouldn't have gotten the job anyway, but that "don't hurt the little lady" handshake was a definite deal-breaker!</p>
