Handwritten thank you letters set you apart—but only send them for roles you actually want.
- Don’t bother writing one if you had a weird vibe, didn’t connect, or just aren’t excited.
- If the company, manager, role, or pay feels right—go the extra mile.
- Keep it short, safe, and strategic. This isn’t a place for emotion or storytelling.
- The goal? To show appreciation, reinforce interest, and subtly remind them you’re the solution to their needs.
