[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 438638, member: 1233"] Thanks all. I thought the answers were great too. It has been almost 2 years since he was laid off. Janet, husband got his last job because of a thank you note. IT was with a MAJOR IT company too. He was the ONLY person of the several HUNDRED who were hired to send a thank you note. About three years into the job the big big big boss came to town for something. As part of a meeting he asked husband's name (husband had answered a question very well). He then said, OH, I KNOW YOU - You wrote that awesome thank you note. It was passed on to me and I have it posted in my office so that hopefully others I interview will see it and do the same thing. I have even pointed it out to some of them." This was a HUGE big deal and his boss was really thrilled that her boss kept the note and posted it. She only passed it on because she mentioned it and the big big boss had asked for it. Billy might still get the job if he will just send one. It may be "old school" but it makes a HUGE impression. Chances are Verizon is still interviewing. It can take up to a month for them Occupational Therapist (OT) interview all the people in person and then make a choice. Sending a note would make him stand out as very memorable in a good way. It can even overcome some problems in the interview. I am NOT saying this just because husband got a job wtih one. My mother has doen a LOT of work and research into job hunting as part of her work with students at the university. The big challenge in job hunting is to be memorable in a good way. IF you don't stand out from the pack you won't get hired. Period. LOTS of people who hire have said that the thank you note or other perosnal touch done in a professional way makes them think about a candidate more and makes the chances they will get the job far far greater. I also know a lot of people who hire others and many of them do not wnat to hire anyone who doesn't go the extra bit to stand out. Used to be that they refused to hire anyone who didn't send a thank you note. [/QUOTE]
