I had an interview yesterday and I was wondering do people still send thank you notes? If so how long should it be and what should it include? Also I interviewed with the manager and the Dr just came in for a minute to meet me so should the note go to the manager or dr?
I personally never thought to send a thank you note, but I think it is a very nice gesture. I wouldn’t make it long. Short simple and to the point. Thank them for the their time and that you would love to be an active member on their dental team. I think sending it addressed to the doctor with attn: office manager would be fine. You don’t want to over do it with sending 2 or 3 thank you cards to the same office. It might make you sound desperate.
I have done this at each interview and have gotten great results! Just thank them for the opportunity and state something you really liked about the office! Short, sweet, helps them think of you. If you have a business card, slide one in even if they already have one. I find that it helps them think of you again when its time to choose. My office kept mine and placed it with my personnel file 🙂
