Spinoff - Do you e-mail or snail mail your thank yous?
Ten years ago, when I was still in college (and e-mail was a relatively new thing) I snail-mailed my thank-yous.
Now I e-mail them.
What do you do?
(This is in reference to a PP that said that if a thank you is not mailed then they don't hire them)
I swim because I'm too damned sexy for a sport that requires real clothing.

Snail mail unless a decision will be made quickly.
I"m terribly old fashioned. I still like a paper TY

I have always emailed mine. I don't see the point of mailing it. Even my offer letters have been sent via email
I always email.
If it makes any difference, I used to be a corporate recruiter and preferred emailed thank you's. They seemed more professional.
I guess I'm old fashioned at the age of 27. I just snail mailed one today. To me, it takes a lot more effort to hand write a thank you and mail it than it does to email it. But, it could be looked at as more time efficient had I emailed it. If I was the hiring person, I'd prefer the handwritten.
I think it depends on the job. For example I work in a highly people and counseling centered field. So snail mailed thank you's are seen as a personal touch. But if you're looking for something in a more technologically savvy area you might want to send it via email. The point is that you take the time to send it at all!
I always bring my thank you with me to the interview- maybe not completely prewritten but at least with the envelope stamped and the beginning of a message. Then as I am leaving I can stop at the corner coffee shop finish it, reflect on the interview and whether I would actually want to take the job if it were offered, and put that sucker in the mail. Then it is not something to remember a few days later, cause its already done! And it will get to them in two days rather than three or four when they could have already made a decision.
Also, if you're looking for the ease of the email contact you can always follow up a week later about the progress of the search and ask if they need anything additional to complete your file for the manager in charge of the search. This way you will not only be remembered once after you have left the office, but twice.
Good luck!
