Don't Forget To Say Thank You

I have talked about the importance of thank you notes before. I love thank you notes, the pretty papers and styles, the fun pens and most importantly sending someone who did something special for me happy thoughts. But I am beginning to understand not everyone feels the same way.

Currently I am interviewing candidates for an open position we have at Shara’s Paperie. Unfortunately I have not been impressed with my potential employees. Not that they aren’t a very qualified group of individuals or anything, but not one has sent me a thank you note for meeting with them.

For all of you college graduates starting the interview process let me give you a piece of advice, no matter how the interview goes you must always send a thank you note. And emails don’t cut it!

Out of courtesy to your interviewer, you need to take the time to sit down and properly construct a thank you note. It only needs to be a few lines that shows your potential boss how much you appreciate them taking time out of their day to meet with you.

Besides don’t you think its fun to find a unique paper that perfectly fits you and personalize it with your name or monogram, and then show it off!
