Allison Peck??的动态

Jesse Zulak this might make me team thank you notes ??

I've always thought thank you notes are ridiculous. I'm not just entering the job market.

Allison Peck??: Disagree. As a potential differentiator, if a genuine-rapport was struck and the interest of all parties involved is/was mutual, gratitude transcends generations, i.e., it ‘never’ goes out of style.

Politely disagree, Allison Peck??. I don't see the thank you note as an empty nicety in the process (even though I would agree it definitely HAS been in the past). If you walk away from the interview feeling you've developed a genuine connection with a decision-maker, why wouldn't you take 45 seconds to follow up and let them know? We should be bringing in authentic humanity back to the interview process. I also don't understand how a thank you note "tip(s) the power dynamics in the wrong direction for negotiations later on." I see the role of the candidate as one where you need to clearly communicate your expertise, how you leverage it to solve the right problems, and the value you can bring. By doing that, you can approach the finalization of an offer not as a pure negotiation (win/lose), but as an agreement on value add and value ask. Would love to hear your thoughts!

As a hiring manager... Disagree 100% if you're sending anyone my way. I look positively on a short thank you expressing that they are interested. If I don't get one then I assume they aren't. It also that shows the candidate can write a professional email. Further - I'm finding, through working with interns and seeing how my own kids communicate, that college students are not learning the basics of sending a business email as everything is done via chat or social media. But businesses still use email.

WOW, I have never seen someone sabotage so many people. You are not entitled to a second or third interview and unless you show some more interest, recap and try to make yourself stand out, someone else will and they will advance while you sit and wonder why you are not making it past the first interview. I can only speculate on why you would give such terrible advice, but when I interview candidates, if I get a thank you and follow up, that candidate sticks out in my head more over those that do not. Adam Karpiak Kelly Bonn, what do you two say?

Do you know what you'll get if you ask 5 different recruiters to describe the perfect resume? You'll get 7 different answers. "Thank-you" messages are pretty much the same - it's all opinion based, and there are NO shortage of opinions these days. So - IMO, it really comes down to what is feels authentic or organic. If it's an empty, knee-jerk reaction of just thanking someone for their time, writing some generic "fill-in-the-blank" niceties and checking a box, I don't see value. If it's an extension to the conversation and specific to the work specific topics discussed, then there could be value. I also believe that gratitude should ALWAYS be a two way street, and the world would be a better place if we all treated EVERYONE with appreciation and respect during the interview process.

Definitely disagree there is value in an old-school written, thank you note even more so it shows a hunger and desire and appreciation to be able to make a connection for the near and short term. and I also think it’s a future indicator of how employees will treat one another the clients we serve.

I have to say, I totally disagree Allison, if only because it is polite to do so. But it is also an opportunity to make further points you may not have gotten to or to reiterate strong points that you made. While I agree, it's a transaction, like any transaction you need to be sold to or do the selling. In the case of an interview, you are doing the selling, and a closing argument/pitch is required.

This post is ridiculous and probably just posted for exposure and views. I hate that I'm adding to this self adulation nonsense on this platform. But I digress. A thank you note doesn't tip power in any direction. There can be competition in job searching. Candidates need to stand out and grab that extra attention. There are many ways to do this but guess what one of them is? P.S. "more so" is two words, not one.
