Lo and behold, I got an offer! :) I doubt it was JUST because of the thank you email, but I think it might have helped since I was late for the interview :) I seem to remember being taught that a thank you note should be standard practice after a job interview, so, since I really wanted this one, I made sure to do it.

a job interview is a pretty awesome opportunity and a thank you not would only seem appropriate.

Of course my wife and I still haven't sent of our thank you cards for the holidays, but we will. I did send a thank you email for a recent job interview I had and that seemed to have an effect, so YAY thank you notes!

Though I don't write thank you notes I do write birthday notes(about 5-10) for my family members and hide them at various places like Moosterz suggested, I paste a couple at the bathroom mirror, refrigerator etc so its the first thing they see early in the morning. It feels great..<br><br>All thanks to my Dad for doing this for me once and that's how I picked it up :) I too feel writing notes is almost a thing of the past.

I think the meaning behind the note and the words are far more important than the method of conveyance.

But we still use notes in school (despite not being allowed). It's sort of a universal thing in our school. Someone helps you out in class a note heads there way with "thank you". It may not be a step up from texting exactly, but at least it's friendly. It would be easier to defend yourself by saying "I don't need your help!".<br><br>So in a way I do this, just on a large scale with lots of other people.
