You generally don't send thank you letters for a job at Burger King.

GrammatonJP - Send it on nice stock paper. I feel sort of bad for you.

and yet you ask such a naive question?


<--not here to judge....simply to nef


Assumign that you are truly lost and really need a legitiamte answer, I would send it on the best paper you can find. that much should be obvious.

That's what expensive paper is for.

Just write it on a napkin and bring it in.

Well, just sending one is a start. But go with the fancy paper, it shows you put in the extra effort.

I just interviewed 14 people a few weeks ago - we got one thank you letter back. Guess who made it for a second interview?

p.s. Don't be the dumbass who calls to ask about the status of their situation. I had a woman call, who left a message *telling* me to give her a call about where she stands (about 4 days after her interview, so we haven't even sent the turn-down letters yet). Nothing pisses me off more.

Please share some good stories if you have some

You can't tell me that 'thank you' letter swung it over the other 13 candidates right? SURELY one was a bit better or quite a bit better then the rest of the 13 candiates?

I had an interview today in fact. The one with the HR person was great. She loved me. Got on very well. The Manager of the department I was going for was also good. More probing questions but I provided good answers :thumbsup:. Hopefully I'll get the call back within 7 days for the 2nd interview. This time no more technical stuff, just talking to the other Managers.

we interviewed many people for a programming position. didn't get a TY letter from any of them and I probably would have thought they were sucking up, anyway.

However, it is distinctly a 'Southern' thing to do.
