Post interview Thank You letter/email

What do you think of adding a personal touch to a Thank You letter after an interview? Let’s say… the person conducting the interview was a female. I know this may seem like a play on the emotional feminine side - so would this come off as too much ass kissing or being genuinely nice? I think this would fly somewhere in Europe… but in North America it might be a ballsy move. Oh and by personal touch I don’t mean “P.S. You have mesmerizing eyes”. I meant something more neutral and not related to the person you are addressing.

What specifically are you planning on saying?

You mean something like writing the letter in pink font or adding XOXO, kblade at the end?

Is this like adding a pic of your thing?

Maybe he means something like Hannibal Lecter said in Silence of the Lambs… “Oh, and Senator? Just one more thing…love your suit.”

Damn this place doesn’t change lol… I guess the answer is “no, it’s a bad idea”.

The question wasn’t very specific. “Personal touch” sounds like you want to molest them when they leave the office.

Haha, no. It’s more like… Go team X! (if you know they are cheering for that team in olympics or what have you)

Sounds like a stalker; probably kblade already has an album with pics of his interviewer, and newspaper fragments about the firm. Creepy.

He’s already friended her using an anonymous facebook profile.

^Only seriously creepy people have anonymous facebook pages :wink:

If you have to ask, that ish is probably inappropriate.

Tailor it by bringing up specific points in the interview that excited you about the job/company. Don’t mention that you want to exchange bad boyfriend stories. A good HR professional will want to create rapport as much as you do; sometimes to have better odds at hiring really good people, other times to create an environment where a jobseeker gets comfortable enough to prove s/he is a complete idiot.
