I find that a personal hand-written note goes a LONG way and can make the difference between two good candidates.

Well, it kind of depends on the industry, I think. I'm sure my company wouldn't care if a thank you was e- or snail-mailed. So whichever is more expedient is probably best.

Plus I have terrible handwriting. Nobody needs to be subjected to that.

(FTR, I think a thank you absolutely must be sent regardless of the method of transport!)

I got this job so fast I didn't have time for a thank you.

So tired. When will I learn that watchin Doctor Who right before bed assures that I will have strange wakeful dreams?

The entire process was so loathsome, I may have to stay here until I retire.

Indeed. I so envy all y'all who haven't had to go through this process in a decade or more!

That's true.

I had a Sarah Jane Adventures dream last night. Very strange.

My co-worker who interviewed me for this job was just talking yesterday about how I'd made him come down and interview me at a diner near my old job (about 1/2 an hour from here). He is still amused by that. I was like, "I wanted to see if you were serious!" ha!

I've only seen most of the first episode of SJA-again right before bed.

Suzi - when we were selling, the inspectors' report came back 'replace everything' even though our "realtor" had written 'as is' into the contract.

(what I'm going to say now is colored by recent experience) If this is the buyer's inspector, their goal is to get everything they can. I hope they can't, for your sake.

job~ma for Aims!

Not the buyer's inspector. We wanted to get all the disclosure done up front so that they can't ask for discounts off the sale price. BUT, we don't want to scare people off either.

I've never sent a thank you note after an interview. Then again, I've gotten most of my jobs through agencies.
