When you thank someone, be it an employer after an interview or a friend who gave you a job lead, you help satisfy their need to be appreciated. This can also propel you faster toward employment.

1) Whom do you thank? You already know to send a thank-you note to hiring managers after every job interview. But that’s the bare minimum.
You can spread more goodwill — and start more positive conversations about you — by writing and saying, “Thank you,” to every person you meet at a potential employer, starting with the receptionist. Every. Person. You. Meet. Ask everyone for a business card and give them yours in return. If someone is card-less, ask for their name.
Then, call the receptionist after the interview and ask for help in clarifying or spelling any names. You’ll avoid mistakes and leave a terrific impression by making that simple phone call.
2) How do you thank them? To be clear, you will write and mail one of those thank-you notes available at any office supply store (they come in boxes of 20-25), with a matching envelope, and a stamp. If your printing is neat, write your notes by hand. What if your handwriting is illegible? I used to suggest laser printing a thank-you note and then signing it, but no more. I’m now convinced that nothing beats a handwritten note. So take the time to print a note that’s legible.
3) When do you thank them? Speed thrills. The faster you thank an employer or helpful friend, the more they’ll appreciate it.
