I still send thank you letters
1
Just read an article from Fortune about people feeling too burnt out to apply for jobs. Is that you? I get it. This paragraph really summed it up for me: "Compounding the immobility: job seekers are being ghosted at a three-year high, with more than half of applicants reporting no response from employers in the past year. Hiring experts connect the trend directly to AI-inflated application volumes overwhelming recruiters — the same feedback loop burning candidates out. [...]"
Can someone hire me without an interview? I can do the job, but I can't handle interviews. 😭 I have experience in Customer Service and Back Office roles, but since I graduated last year, I've found it difficult to apply for jobs. The interview process makes me really anxious, even though I know I can do the work.
Sending a thank-you note is just the polite thing to do. I'm always surprised when people say they don't bother to do it. It may not make a huge difference, but it's just polite to thank someone for their time, so of course it should be done.
I interview people I don’t put any value in it. If you are going to send it I personally like something clever or funny but that’s me.. I’ve had a few of those
Do you send letters, like in the snail mail, or emails? If you send a snail mail, I'm impressed. I don't think I've sent a letter to anyone besides my grandparents in a decade. I do send emails and I write them myself, but that's pretty much all the effort I can muster.
How do you send it? How do you get the address you need? Curious because I want to do it too.
You're a good person!
Same!
