Last week our executive managing editor jessicaliebman wrote about sending thank-you notes after a job interview. The article sparked a ton of debate
The article went viral, with tons of readers agreeing and disagreeing vehemently with my rule of thumb.I'm writing this follow-up to clarify my thoughts.last week about what I thought was a benign topic: sending a thank-you email after a job interview.

But I do want to clarify a few things that are being misconstrued on social media and other places.To be very clear: The thank-you-note strategy is a rule ofInsider Inc. has hired — and continues to hire — people who have not written us thank-you notes. We extended such an offer last week, which was what gave me the idea to write the story.These days, an estimated 95% of all Insider Inc.
Good thank-you notes are often tailored to reflect the specific conversation that was had during the interview — a great opportunity for a candidate to show that they are engaged and great listeners!Neither is being on time to an interview. The thank-you email is a straightforward way to let us know the interest is still there before our final signal: the job offer! And of course when we are trying to recruit someone from one of our competitors, for example, we do our fair share of wooing.Absolutely not. As I've said, the follow-up email is your final pitch.
Over the years we have interviewed and hired many people of diverse backgrounds and experiences. Creating and maintaining a diverse workplace is a top priority for us.
