The Perils of Interview Thank You Notes
We heard from an alumnus recently who had some advice to offer about thank you notes. The message? A thank you note with any sort of error will likely be more of a detriment than benefit. If you send them, triple-check for errors. He said he’s seen thank-you notes with spelling errors, name errors, and even notes with the wrong name of the law firm. For example, he has seen thank-you notes sent to attorneys at his firm after callbacks thanking them for the opportunity to interview at another firm! The result? These people did not get call-backs or offers.
Most employers still expect thank you notes, so review them several times before you send them out, and ask the CSO, friends, and family to take a look as well.
