You're soooo welcome Nicole!

[@nadiaoulahri4779]

Hi Andrew, I enjoy every video you throw in your youtube channel. You're definitely the best. Thanks for sharing your knwledge and expertise. I had a job interview yesterday and aced it thanks to your priceless tips and guidelines. Keep sharing, keep shining☀💐

[@andylacivita]

Nadia, I LOVE hearing these stories. Thank YOU for sharing yours and I'm thrilled I could help!

[@joshuahodgins]

You are the industry standard. ALL of your content is truly amazing.

[@andylacivita]

Joshua, thank YOU for saying that. Genuinely appreciate it!

[@sams517]

So now that we’re in this covid age and a lot of people are working virtually from everywhere, probably not worth it to send hand written notes to people, right? Like what if someone in the company you wanna send a note to lives in a city 4 hours away from you haha. And we’re coming up on the holiday season so slow shipping rates

[@andylacivita]

That is correct. At least get an email to them.

[@napalm84]

You sir, absolutely deserve more views. I love the professionalism and vital advise.

[@andylacivita]

[@andylacivita]

Love to hear it Lucas! Thanks for being a great contributor to my community. Hope you are well!

[@Lavagirl23]

Just wanted to say thank you for all your assistance. I followed your resume recommendations, your networking recommendations, the cover letter, the thank you letter approach including the mailed card, the interview questions, the one sentence describing who I am, and your salary negotiation. Essentially I followed many of your techniques and I have to say they worked! I got a job and in a completely different industry after working in one industry for 20 years. I started following and watching your videos about a month ago. Before that I had already been out of work because of Covid for six months. I am also over 50. I started getting more interviews and calls when I applied your tips. I definitely think everything helped. Thank you again for your dedication and all that you do.

[@andylacivita]

Love this Elizabeth!!! Huge congratulations!!!!

Oh wow vintage Andy! Such great stuff. Almost did not recognize you without the trademark beard and you sound a lot different. Great tips as always and was looking for insight on thanking interviewer after the job interview.

[@andylacivita]

Thanks. I think this was first video I out on LinkedIn. I can’t even watch it but glad it helped! Good luck with the interviews!!

[@KetVilagKozt]

Thank you for your video Andrew, it really helps a lot. Can I ask if it applies to phone interviews too? The one before the actual face to face interview. I want to thank her the phone interview as well, but I am not sure if I need to put the second part, when I tell them why I am the perfect match... Isn't that too early to describe? Is the "Thank you for your time for the phone interview" enough? Thank you, Gabor

[@sylwiagond605]

[@MktNinja]

Good idea about email & post card, but how do you get emails and address when interviewers are hesitant about giving out contact info?

[@MichaelsPwner]

MktNinja you ask them for their business card. That’s what I did today. They didn’t offer me one at the beginning, so at the very end I asked if they each had a business card that I could get. Their business card has their email address and the address of their work for me to send the card to.

[@nicolewilliams6091]

Hi Andy What should I do if I don’t have the interviewers email? I only have the email of the recruiter

[@andylacivita]

Ask the recruiter for the other peoples emails and let the recruiter know you’d like to send them thank you messages and you’d be happy to copy the recruiter on all the emails you send. If the recruiter will not give you those email addresses, send the recruiter however many emails you need to And ask the recruiter to forward every persons to them directly.

[@andylacivita]

Nice to hear this Satish!

[@keithclark1875]

Andy, thank you for the video. I was wondering for a job interview, (financial industry) would you use a thank you Card or Letter after the interview? I was planning to use a letter, but you mentioned card in your video. Thanks

[@andylacivita]

Keith Clark great question. 2 points. The most important thing is that you send SOMETHING. I like an email and then a thank you card. The email is nice because it's fast and you can structure it like I mentioned. The thank card can be a little more free form. The thing I like about the card is that it's sturdy and odd sized. People tend to leave them on their desks for a bit. With a letter (I'm assuming you meant 8x11), they get opened and thrown in a pile and buried or tossed. Of course, they can do that with a card, but it's more likely they keep it for a while (especially if you did well in the interview). Hope that helps and good luck on the interview!!

[@keithclark1875]

Yes, I was referring to 8.5x11. Additionally, knowing the company's style. I plan to "Hand write" the letter or card. I think it's important for someone seeking a career to find out what the company expects during the process as well. Again, thank you for taking the time to create videos for everyone to learn. Have a great day.

[@andylacivita]

You too Keith. Best of luck with the interview!

[@banupriya5404]

Hi Please do advise that it's been 2 weeks. Since I got informed on selection by HR and I was told to send soft copies of documents required. There was a batch started and one is about to start based on information I collected from consultants. On a positive mode, I got informed only by consultants upon follow ups that I get a call on salary discussion from hr . But not yet until the day. Can you advice the reason. Now I wish to send a thank you note beside to get to know about my hire.

[@HooligansCS21]

Do you have any updated recommendations in the time of Co-Vid? Many of the companies I am applying to are (still) working remotely. Do I still send a card to the office address even though it may not be received for days, weeks, months, ever?

[@andylacivita]

I’d stick to email for now.

[@ShallyJWK]

It's not easy because today some organization just use a "no-reply mailbox" to contact with interviewees. That make interviewees don't know how can they send a thank you letter. And in some cases, interviewers make up their mind about who is slelected right at the end of interview, so sending it may not help much in gaining potential percentage of being hired.

[@elizabethchesney248]

Hi Andrew! I noticed that when I mailed thank you letters to my two previous interviewers, they both kept the letter with my resume. (I saw it when I went in for the second interview). I feel like a PDF is easier for them to print and share with the second (more important) interviewer. Does it matter if the letter is in the email or is it helpful to include a PDF of the letter also?

[@andylacivita]

Elizabeth! Thanks for watch and that's a great question! Think first about what's most important (speed and thoughtfulness and their ability to capture and circulate). It's easier if they get an email (which they will also automatically file in their ATS system) and they can print that as well. I'd also send a card (as opposed to a pDF). That's adds real power and extra effort. It's a cool thing that you noticed they put your thank yous in the folder, but trust me when I tell you the second rounders are more focused on the upcoming interview. The fact that you sent the thank you is good enough. The MOST IMPORTANT factor on the thank you is the CONTENT!!!!

[@PhyliciaATL]

Hi, I wanted to tell you how much you helped me with my job interview today.. I was just sending a Thank you email to the recruiter and they called with a job offer... Thank you for all your advice on how to answer these horrible interview questions

What if i interview on a friday. Should i wait till monday to reply?

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

better late than never!

[@richard8587]

What if you only have the email from the one that sent you the invitation to the interview but not the interviewer himself ?

[@andylacivita]

Richard. Here's the best way. 1) when you go to the interviews, always ask if you can get their email address 2) if you don't get them from everyone, make sure the get the HR person or recruiter's address because you can email them and ask for everyone's email address. 3) if you don't have HR's email, send a message to the person's who was your main contact and ask them. 4) if they don't respond, send the person whose email you do have a separate message for each interviewer and ask the person to forward those emails to the individual people. this way you are covered!

In the school district I am applying for and interviewing with, I am not allowed to solicit through email to the principals. Wouldn't that second line be considered solicitation?

[@brandishanken9307]

Hey Andy, I've watched a couple videos on this and looked in the book, but I don't see anything about the contents of the handwritten note... Should we write the same thing on the card as in the email? Or just keep it simple like "Thank you so much for meeting with me!" or something?

[@andylacivita]

Make the card more casual and connected. Don’t repeat.

[@EricKorbly]

This portion of job hunting feels so artificial & unnecessary. Everyone is busy & at this junction I’ve already expressed authentic gratitude. It feels a lot like kissing ass & stroking egos to keep reaching out without invitation than a real thank you piled on to one I already gave more than once. I say thank you for your time (and I mean it) at the end of any interview. It feels creepy to track down an email address or show up (uninvited) in person to drop off a note. I don’t know the people I interviewed with.

Actually, speed and thoughtfulness are both important. I recommend sending an email thank-you within 24 hours of your interview.

The email will get to them soon and the snail mail a few days or a week later. :) They will love you for sending a card because unfortunately very few people do that anymore.

Hey Justin, great question. On the thank you email, it's always best to get the interviewer's business card during the interview. If they don't have one, ask for their email address. If they don't provide it, get it from HR or the recruiter. If they won't give it to you, send the thank you to the recruiter and ask them to forward it on!

Hello Andy thanks for the excellent advice! In a two-phased recruitment process (first interview with the HR and if the candidate is approved, a second interview will happen with the manager) do you think this thank you letter can be sent to the person of the HR who interviewed the candidate? Or only to the manager, in that second phase? The thing is, I want to impress the HR right now but if I'm approved, I want to impress the manager too. So should I send this letter to the HR, or be patient, hope to be selected for the second interview, and only send it to the manager? thank you once again!

One of the most powerful people in the entire corporation personally came to my cube and she introduced herself. Your videos really helped me for that day. Thanks again for all the hard work and dedication you put into your videos.

You mentioned a free down load that will help in writing the thank you letter. Where do I click or go to to download the material?

[@andylacivita]

Kenneth Hodgell Hey Kenneth, there is a link directly to download the Thank You template right in the video notes. Simple expand the section. If you can't find it, please let me know and I'll repast it for you. Enjoy!

I already sent an email within 24 hours of first interview and followed that up with a handwritten note (several weeks ago). Now I have completed the second interview. Is just an email appropriate here? Should I offer to send any supplemental docs in regard to my strategic plan that I briefly outlined for the committee, or should I hold back on sharing too much info since I don’t have an offer yet? I’m currently employed by a direct competitor.

[@mdgeary311]

Your advice on the thank email and handwritten note worked wonderfully on the first round, by the way! I was told I was the only candidate to do so.

[@andylacivita]

Matt. On the early rounds it’s okay to send an email. In later rounds you can send the handwritten cards. If you already sent them that’s okay. You can send them or not depending on your connection with the interviewers. On your second question, I wouldn’t send any supplemental documentation on till it was requested. Good luck!

[@eddiekaspbrak4624]

What if multiple ppl were there in the interview w u?

[@authenticjourneys-JK]

Just curious - for my interview I prepared a tip sheet of how I'd engage with the team's various clients. Somehow I missed mentioning this during the interview. In your opinion would it be too much to add it as an attachment to a thank you note (there were 15 points), or mention in the thank you letter something like "After our discussion, I am keenly interested to meet you and the team again for the next round of interviews. In fact, I have created a tip sheet of various approaches I would use to engage various clients. I'd be more than happy to share this in detail with you during our next conversation." That seems long. What do you think?

[@tamarhamarggi0693]

Hi Andy ( My Father in Career Success) I would like to find out ; is it okay to say thank you to the employer after the interviews using an e-mail. Incase someone stays very far from the place where the company is.

[@andylacivita]

Hi Tamarha! It sure is okay!!

[@ProGaymes]

the problem there were 2 persons interview me , and I totally forgot the name of the other person?? I search everywhere in the website , linked in , facebook , but I coudl not find.. how can i right a thank you letter..

[@winstonsblues]

Sending them a physical piece makes sense. You said it in other words, but that item engages additional senses, and is more effective at creating a memory (and just as importantly, a positive one!). Hopefully they won't be able to get you out of their head, lol

[@andylacivita]

Jeremy, thanks for watching and this comment as well. I really like the way you articulated this. You create action, a memory, and a leave-behind with the card!!

[@winstonsblues]

I've just found you as I'm looking for an improved financial situation, and you're videos are great. They are better than many others because you've taken the time to really analyze the process, giving you more insight to share. Thanks so much for sharing that depth with the rest of us!

[@andylacivita]

Jeremy, thanks for this remark as well. You just made my day. I really try to bring everything I have to these videos. (Funny item, this thank you email was the first one like this I did. I watch it and cringe a little because my executive producer, star, video engineering, and sound engineering skills left a lot to be desired! Even so, I think people need to get the content, so I would never consider taking it down!) Hopefully, you've got a chance to breeze through my more recent videos as well as some of the live office hour sessions. If you're looking for help on job searching, I think you'll really enjoy the material. Also, check out my training site (www.milewalkacademy.com/) and blog (milewalk.com/mwblog/) for loads more free stuff, downloads, webinars, and so forth. Enjoy buddy and let me know if you need anything else!

[@winstonsblues]

Thanks a lot, Andrew! I definitely need more perspective on the whole job search ordeal, so I'll absolutely take further advantage of your offerings. Thanks again, and have a fantastic day!

[@andylacivita]

You too buddy. Make sure to grab some goodies. I'm sure they'll help!

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

You have been a great help to me and I would like to thank you. I am in the educational sector in Europe, I got through first interview to a dream job yesterday and just send my clever thank you-letter. Crossing fingers :) Thank you again!

[@cjohn7468]

Andy, do we send a thank you email after a phone interview? It's the first interview i had with the company and didn't get the HR interviewers email, we've only spoke on the phone.

[@andylacivita]

Yes. send a thank you after any interaction. Always ask on the phone for their email address.

[@acoustic4037]

how do you get the physical address in a huge company? they can be numerous

[@andylacivita]

I would suggest contacting the HR or recruiter who helped handle your interview process and ask them. If you can't reach them, simply put the person's name at the top, their company name underneath, and the company address below that. It will usually find them if you have their name and their company name. If there are multiple office locations, I would call the headquarters and speak with the operator and mention you'd like to mail something to the person. Just give them the name and ask which location!

[@CreoleKissesDiaryTV]

What if I had my first interview and did not send the Thank you Letter and it's been 2 weeks now, yet was called in to interview for the 2nd time with 3 new interviewers on the panel? Is it too late to send the Thank you letter for the first interview? Can I still send thank you letters for the 2nd interview to the new panel? Do I still have a chance?

[@Narciss99]

I must stress one should think about the culture of their country.... I bet if i do this after a job interview I will be compromised when salary negotiation time comes because a thank you might seem to some people as being desperate to get the job...

[@LimitlessFX]

Hi Andrew, I just sent a thank you letter that had yellow highlights in it on 4 of the words in the letter. Did I just blow my chances at getting hired?

[@andylacivita]

LimitlessFX Hi there! I wouldn't necessarily do anything that overt to call attention to certain areas in the thank you. Going forward, keep it clean and simple!!

[@LimitlessFX]

Andrew LaCivita thank you for responding, I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear, the highlights were the result of spell checks that were false hits. Do you think this will cause me to lose any chance of getting hired?

[@andylacivita]

LimitlessFX thanks for clarifying. It's really hard to tell because everybody's viewpoint regarding spelling mistakes is different. Some people are happily willing to overlook them while others consider them grave mistakes. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

[@LimitlessFX]

Thank you Andrew! Much appreciated!

[@sheilanicole95]

You're AWESOME!!!

[@andylacivita]

Sheila Nicole Thanks Sheila. So glad you liked it!!

[@aweysqali9926]

On this subject you are talking about how good you guys are with your company how many people they appreciate how you guys are helping how to say thank you after the interview but that’s not the point the point is when you post something in KZbin teach your help don’t just show yourself how good you guys are that’s not what we need to see we need to see something what we need to see when you said this is how you think after interview that mean whatever you need to ride or you need the space about interview not about how many people follow you guys how many people this and that that’s

[@rocil9073]

Andy, i sent a thank you email to the HR manager who did my phone interview however, I didn't send her a hand written note. If i send the hiring manager a hand written note, will the hr manager feel like i left her out?

[@andylacivita]

No. I wouldn’t worry. If you want, only send thank you card after in person interviews and when you do that you can also send a thank you card to the HR person. Solved!!

[@rocil9073]

@@andylacivita you're truly amazing! Thank you!
