I still send thank you letters
1
I’ve started judging companies by how they reject candidates. Some places make you feel respected even with a no. I received the nicest rejection email today that let me down easy and still made me feel hopeful about my next interview. Others just ghost like a situationship. Can’t help but wonder how they think they’ll attract great talent they treated that way in the past?
I have a strong interview anxiety. I know I have a great potential because of my work ethic, values, experiences, and qualities as a person. But, how can I prove that to the panel if I'm super nervous and forget what to say at the moment. My anxiety ruins my opportunity to show them that I'm a great fit. I don't know how to overcome this.
This job application process is becoming tiring. It takes approximately 30-40mins to tailor(including editing and formatting) CV and cover letter to each job post. After approximately 4 applications, mental fatigue sets in. I am considering using some form of Agentic AI to scan LinkedIn and apply for matching jobs. A scenario where all I will do in the end is just verify and click submit. Has anyone come across anything like this?
Sending a thank-you note is just the polite thing to do. I'm always surprised when people say they don't bother to do it. It may not make a huge difference, but it's just polite to thank someone for their time, so of course it should be done.
I interview people I don’t put any value in it. If you are going to send it I personally like something clever or funny but that’s me.. I’ve had a few of those
Do you send letters, like in the snail mail, or emails? If you send a snail mail, I'm impressed. I don't think I've sent a letter to anyone besides my grandparents in a decade. I do send emails and I write them myself, but that's pretty much all the effort I can muster.
How do you send it? How do you get the address you need? Curious because I want to do it too.
You're a good person!
Same!
