Semper Fi - 1775 |
Thanks all! This is everything I've been looking for, and it comes with a nice vehicle as well. As an aside, I received positive feedback on the thank you notes, I did NOT send one to the gentleman with whom I did not meet. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

First, Congrats to Ronin on the new job. You deserve it. And new jobs are great.
Second, I think it varies by industry. I was on the recruiting committee at my last place, and must have done hundreds of formal and informal interviews over the last few years. I got every type of thank-you note. I got zero in time to influence my feedback, even if they would have (they wouldn't have). Many were generic, some picked out some bit of our conversation, some seemed like party tricks, reciting every single thing we talked about verbatim. But none changed a yes to a no or vice versa. For my current position, I got a call from the recruiter an hour after I'd left the office wanting to talk about the offer. Perhaps in a drawn out hiring process this could make a difference. "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

No. The purpose of a follow-up thank-you is to keep you fresh in their memory. If you didn't meet, you become just one more piece of mail he has to throw away. That's a negative. I wouldn't get to carried away with thank you cards. One is a nice touch; one to everyone you met is a bit of overkill. | |||

I always try to double check my motive for doing things like this. If any doubt, I don't. ________,_____________________________ *** Wanna make everything electric? Start with the border wall. We all live for a little while and then die sooner than we planned. Your way or YAHWEH | |||

Hey, congratulations! I wish you much success and happiness. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Sounds like they truly wanted you on the team. Sounds like you felt the same way. Whatever you said and/or did to accomplish your goal was spot-on. Success feels great, doesn't it?
