Are you really supposed to email the people who interviewed you after a job interview to thank them or is it just a meme?

>getting a job
just where do you think you are
yes. swallow your pride and do it like a good wage cuck.
don't forget to swallow
What? No. I've never heard that. You leave interview with the obligatory square look in the eye and firm handshake, then you wait at home like a good little boy for the call.

Why has getting a job become so horrible? Will we ever return to sanity?
Every dumb job hunting advice site I've read in the last hour says "hurr if you don't thank them you're fucked".
Are they living on a different planet? I had an interview today, the only person who's email I have from the company wasn't even on the interview panel, and I'd have seemed like a creeper asking for business cards at the end of the interview from people who most certainly do not have them.
Was I supposed to shake their hand then say "by the way, do you mind if I write down your email real quick so I can send you a thankyou email later"? Seems fucking retarded.
Has worked for me in the past - get business cards before you leave, follow up with an email thanking them for their time and something something about scheduling another interview.
>scheduling another interview
Jesus now I know I'm getting memed.
I wrote thank you follow-up emails at the last place I worked for, ended up getting the job.
I think it's all contextual. If the email went extremely well and you have their email addresses already, probably a good idea. If the interview was iffy and you don't, probably just forget about it/let your resume do the talking. But I don't think it could ever hurt to find their emails and send a thank you email - shows you took initiative and really want the job.
Interviewed for an amazing position a few years back, wrote a thank you letter by hand and sent it the same day. Got the job a week later.
It was the kind of place that would appreciate the extra effort though, so make an appropriate judgement. GL
What's wrong with just thanking them for the interview at the end of the interview? What's the point of clogging up their email server with nonsense?
as someone who has done hiring before, i can tell you its not necessary, but it wont hurt and it can only help. if whoever is doing the hiring is having a hard time deciding between candidates, extra stuff like this will actually begin to factor in. anything that shows desire for the position, independent motivation, and thought will help.
asking the question as you put it was def an awkward way to go about it, but asking for a "contact email" would have been a tactful move. you can send something to one of their public emails.
generic follow up email is fine but talking about another interview would come across as presumptuous
its always been horrible. it was just horrible in different ways in the past.
Who needs a job anyway when you can just buy bitcoin.
Checked. And a hell of a lot of advice online seems to be written by and for New Yorkfags gunning for high profile positions, among a lot of other media that seems like its made for martians. Trust your own judgement and recalibrate your approach as necessary, there's a bit of a sliding scale between what you need to do applying at McDonalds vs Goldman Sachs.
each country could be different but here in eu its not usual to write thank you emails to future employers, if you are deemed competent then you will have lot of time to thank them (with quality work for example...)
also not usual to get "sorry, rejected emails"
just do the interviews, and know that it is usually already decided who will be chosen unless they go full retard
one more thing to add: if it was specially arranged for you in terms of time, position or just to measure you up if they could provide you a position, then you should write that email to whoever made it possible
Oh, okay. I guess things have changed. The last time I did the interview process was 2007.
Guy with a job here
Ask every person who interviews you for a business card or just their contact information
If you forget one, ask the last person who interviews you (but dont throw 10 names at them)
If there was a secretary that arranged everything, they can help you as well
The day after your interview, send them all a quick note thanking them for their time
1 email per person, not a mass send
Tell them you enjoyed X part of the conversation and you hope to speak to them again
Should be no longer than 4-5 sentences
Dont bother with written letters on paper
I've had recruiters email me asking for a thank you letter so they could prove they conducted an interview.
HR faggots are not even human.
It's note a meme, but you're encouraged to include a "dank" meme in the body of the email to show them that you know how to work hard AND play hard
Please see attached for an example. This is a meme of ET (the extraterrestrial from ET) eating crayons
Other acceptable memes to use are the dog who delivers choice lines Such as "much wow" - very funny stuff
its just a meme
they either like you after the interview or they dont, its that simple
WHAT?!?!? You mean thanking them won't buy me extra brownie points? What if they were on the fence about hiring me and my courteous e-mail is just enough for them to go:
"You know what... Maybe I should hire Derp, afterall, he DID say thank-you."
THIS
Would it maybe be worth me using reverse psychology?
e.g.
Dear [Interviewer],
Fuck you for the interview today, I contact you wishing to express my continued disinterest in the role. I hope you die in your sleep tonight, cunt.
Yours Killyourselffully,
[my name]
?
how many times have you guys been on the other side of the hiring table? i have been on a panels and committees where we liked multiple candidates. the ones who seem to want or care about the job more are given preference over those who have an attitude of more "eh, i could take it or leave it." of course it doesn't go as you portrayed it in an extreme and cartoonish way but it adds up.
Just give the interviewer a nice firm handshake and you will get the job 100% of the time.
My interviewers were women so I was afraid of hurting them, my handshakes were maybe 65% the strength they'd usually be, am I fucked?
