OTOH, unless you’ve spoken to the big boss directly already, I wouldn’t send him anything. If I was a big boss dealing with my mother’s death, a letter from an applicant I’d never met that knew my mom had died would probably piss me off.

Yesterday I spent the day in Jersey (they flew me in) for final interviews with a company.

I am sending handwritten "Thank You" notes to the 7 people I met with yesterday, including the assistant I was working with the past two weeks.

Question - I was supposed to meet with the President of the company but he had to cancel at the last minute because his mom died.

Do I send him a note acknowledging that I regret missing the opportunity of meeting with him and offer my sympathies regarding the death of his mom?

1 phone interview

1 in person interview

A dopey personality profile quiz

Flying from MN to New Jersey for seven 1 hour interviews with every VP and director they have

Writing out 7 individual and customized thank you notes

And then providing 3 references that they actually called and grilled....

The Hiring Manager just texted me and asked me to block out 2pm to 4pm tomorrow afternoon for a call he was very much looking forward to making....

Fingers crossed that the financial package is in the ball bark of what we discussed...

Thank you notes in general show that you are engaged in the process one step further than some others. They don't necessarily have to be hand written, an email would suffice these days. If you interviewed with an old coot like me, a follow up thank you is a nice touch. Younger bosses don't always have the same work culture but I don't think a thank you would hurt. Only send them to people you actually spoke with.

Congratulations! I hope it doesn't require moving to NJ.
