Question about the thank you letter I’m emailing?



I interviewed with 3 people for a job on Thursday and then was called back to meet with 3 more people on Friday. On Tuesday I’ll be meeting with 1 remaining person.

Because of the short turn around time I’m planning to email a thank you note instead of snail mailing the note. I discussed this with the HR Rep and it was her who suggested sending an email instead of mailing letters.

Here’s my question: should I email the thank you note to just the hiring manager or everyone on her team that I met with?

    To everyone on the team and they should all be personalized to that specific person. Dont send them all the same one.

    I think everyone. Everyone put the time into meeting with you, so they deserve a thank you. And i think it’ll help you score more points..

    Make certain to mention everyone that you met with. Best result is one letter that is CC to everyone.

    everyone you met with…meaning the 3 people you interviewed with…yes, only if you 1) know the names, titles and correct spellings –one thing wrong and you will have just lowered your odds!
    2) BE BRIEF! and attach a copy of your resume, even though they already have one.

    Good Luck to you and smart going for asking the HR Rep!

    I agree with all the above answers. I give this one a star because the spelling is correct and it was a well thought out question. It’s so refreshing to see it in Yahoo Answers.

    Everyone you met with.

    A thank-you note or letter is better than an e-mail, in my opinion. You can always hand-deliver your notes/letters to the company on Monday.

    I had my second interview with a company recently. After the interview I decided to write up my thank you cards (addressed to everyone I met, personalizing each card) in the car. Then I went back in and handed them to a staff member. She was pleasantly surprised. I decided not to rely on snail mail.

    I would send the e-mail to everyone on the team.
