Do you send thank-you emails after interviewing?

To expand on what I meant before, I did a lot of interviewing at firms where the people that interview you (not HR) think a fair amount of themselves and sort of demand respect. They think entry level people are worthless until proven otherwise, and interview candidates are even lower on the ladder. I ended up accepting an offer from a firm that has a much better culture, in my opinion, but that's just what the cultural norm is in this industry. (In case it matters to you for some reason, which I don't expect, these are mostly finance positions in big firms in NYC).

I probably would send one to a government hiring manager, but I wouldn't expect it to be a big deal if I didn't. I would expect the culture to be more lax

I got the expectation from one of the ladies that posts job descriptions and filters through the stuff before the managers get it that they really demand the utmost of respect. (Seems not so lax)

She was really nice to me and considerate, but who knows how I will do when it comes to the hiring managers... I just gotta manage to get an interview from the application somehow.

Nope. I always figured that it would look like an attempt at ass kissing, which would make me look desperate, which makes look like a worse candidate.

sigh, so little you know about the business world.
