Post-Interview "Thank You" Notes: A Ticking Time Bomb
By: Frank Risalvato

Nothing can be more frustrating than having an offer withdrawn over misspellings and poor grammar contained in an emailed "Thank You" note that the candidate composed.

It never ceases to amaze me how many stupid mistakes are permitted to be passed on in an email. During the late stages of a search, where every move, motion, word uttered and behavior is being monitored with hawk-like vision by studious executives looking for any reason to validate whether or not they are about to make the right decision … it is imperative that the "Thank You" note be flawless.

I'm talking high clarity, brilliant, 10 carat diamond flawless.

Nothing else will do.

This must be so regardless of the intelligence level, education, or academic pedigree of the job interviewer.
