<p>I had a college interview a little bit over a week ago and about three or four days later I sent my interviewer a thank-you letter to the email address he used to invite me. However, he still hasn't responded and I'm not sure whether he has received the email yet or not (it's an older alumni, not a recent grad). In the initial email he sent me, he said that it'd be better if I contacted him for the interview via telophone instead of email. How can I make sure he receives the letter? Should I send a separate one through the post? Should I even be worried about this?</p>
<p>All of my other interviewers have responded promptly and directly to my messages.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You should always send a thank you through the mail if you can not deliver it in person.</p>
<p>Are you expecting a thank you response for your thank you email?</p>
<p>Even with paper thank you note, you will not get a note back, "thank you for the thank you".</p>
<p>I would said a short note, saying thank you. </p>
<p>So your thank you wasn't really a thank you, was it a message where you implied you wanted a response? Did you send a thank you back to the other people that responded to your email thank you? If not, why not? </p>
<p>Think about it this way, if he repsoned to you, would you then send another thank you for his response and so on and so forth, with no end?</p>
<p>A thank you note is just that, a thank you.</p>
<p>You should not expect a response, unless you are using the thank you to elicit more information, in that case, its not really a thank you note, just another coorespondence.</p>
<p>What were you expecting him to say back? Thank you for your thank you?</p>
<p>AH, kids today with their etiquette....in the future, paper thank you's are always better.</p>
<p>Here's my problem: What if you're interviewed by an alumni. I don't have their addresses so should I</p>
<p>a. Send an email.
b. Email them to ask for their address.
c. Call the school and ask for the address (if they give out this info).
d. Send the note to the school and hope they pass it along.
e. Something else because a-d are stupid ideas.</p>
<p>I'm sure he received the email but if you have his address, it certainly can't hurt to send it through mail.</p>
<p>If you have the interviewer's e-mail, e-mail a message saying thank you.</p>
<p>In my case, the interviewer said that there would not be any more contact between me and her unless I get accepted. I feel that after she said that, there shouldn't be any contact because she can see that thank you as edging on.</p>
