What I «like» most about that situation was that he started the meeting with saying thank you
Just read some of his other posts. Every one is the same, what a horrible person.
Real answer: I usually say thank you in person at the end of the interview. Like “Thank you for your time.” Sending an email restating that would be wasting their time, no?
Nah, these people stir air for a living. They appreciate others who also know how to stir air. Sending a pointless time wasting email is the epitome of this discipline. If you want in, you need to show them you can do it too. If you want to be an actual productive member of society, you wont do it and find a position where you don’t have to resort to such menial tasks.
so its the mind games, or “shit tests” employers like to use to see if thier egos get stroked.
I’ve never grovelled for a job, and I’m not starting now.
Feed him to the orphan crushing machine
Thank you email? Do employers make house visits or take you out for dinner when interviewing in the US?
It is as far as I know that is the case.
It is cultural dependent. In South Korea and Japan, you are expected to go for drinks with your boss.
Not these days. In contemporary Japan at many companies, expecting employees to go for drinks with the boss is a kind of specifically noted harassment.
Dear Assface,
I’m writing to thank you. Not for the interview. For making a stupid post on a job site that you treat as social media. You are clearly deranged. I know that I don’t want to work for you or with you or anywhere near you. Thank you for making that clear to me. Suck a fuck.
Best, some_guy
Dear some_guy I would like to set up a second interview for you to explain how does one “suck a fuck”. This has piqued my interest and would like to discuss in person. Let me know your earliest available time.
You didn’t say thank you to someone who gave you the opportunity to be considered for having your surplus value extracted? For shame, SHAME I say.
The fuck? I interview people frequently. The thank-you email is nice, but definitely not required. I’d never write someone off because they didn’t send me a thank-you email. Geez.
I work for a large company and do interviews. We have our own recruiting department and also use third party agencies. The candidates all talk to the recruiter both before and after the interview. Not us. The recruiter sets up the interview between both parties. So even if they sent an email we’d never know about it. Recruiters don’t forward on stuff like that back to us.
If you had two very close candidates, and one sent you a followup email making their case specific to the job, that wouldn’t sway you?
No, because the time to make a case specific to the job is during the interview. Also, interviewees rarely have my email address. I wouldn’t assume they all do.
Thank you emails on their own are kind of pointless, but it’s a crucial tool for applicant to address anything that they realize might have been missed or to clarify something they thought was important.
It’s a perfect opportunity to offer thanks and further your case for the position, but it should be relevant to the interview.
Depends. Are you hiring people to send thank you emails?
Industry dependent I know but every time I’ve had two good candidates I’ve just gone ahead and hired both
That’s definitely not a common thing, unless you’re fielding a new team or division. There is a limit though, yeah? So it could be a deciding factor even when hiring multiple positions from the same pool of candidates.
Every thank you letter I’ve sent wasn’t a thank you letter at all. I call back to specific things the interviewer said during our interview, and make it one last opportunity to pitch myself as the best candidate.
I have yet to see any place with a good hiring procedure, this nonsense included. People saying they work in HR should generally be looked at as if they just admitted to being in a cult, which is terrifying because it means cultists will be deciding whether you get to do the thing you do to keep from starving in the street.
To be honest, you’re not entirely wrong. It’s so risky to ever be “mask off” in corporate settings.

I mean, what else do you have to evaluate a resume and some thinly sourced references except chicken entrails and prayer? It’s not exactly a hard science.

I’ve never heard it described like this but you nailed it.
Why do all these shitheads want to be my mommy and daddy as well as my employer? I bet this moron is one of those alpha MAGA types who rails against the nanny state but loves being cuckolded and spanked in literally every other context. Fucking weirdos.
as a switch, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying spanking or being spanked.
Yeah, I really hate it when people use kinks as an insult like that. I don’t care if MAGA people like kinks. I care that they’re MAGA.
shut the fuck up marco
