Are you in the habit of sending hand-written thank you notes after interviews, and to anyone who helps you move toward achieving your career goals?
Maybe you don’t realize that very few job seekers — somewhere around only 5% — take advantage of this little-used strategy for staying top of mind. If you join that small group of courteous and smart people, the benefits to you can be significant.
Clients have told me that thank-you notes were the deciding factor in landing a new job. The decision was down to the wire. My clients sent thank you’s, the others didn’t. The people hiring them said they were so impressed by the effort that it tipped the scales in my clients’ favor.
