I happened to see a sample of President Obama’s thank you note “etiquette” on a Twitter post today, and began thinking about this almost obsolete nicety.
Do you write thank you notes? I mean, do you actually take out pen and paper and write a real note? When? After you have received a gift? What about after a dinner party? Or an interview?
Here’s something to think about:
From JobSearch site: “Account Temps Survey reported that 88% of executives said they consider a thank you note influential when evaluating candidates.” More prefer hand written to email and many recommended doing both.
I was brought up in the age of pen and paper and thank you notes were ‘de rigeur’. Always. No exceptions.
t h i n k … that is important here.
Some on-line stores that I like:
TinyPrints
InvitationBox
FineStationary
PaperFancy
I finished up my Christmas thank you notes using these cards
There is something so satisfying about writing… and receiving… a hand written note.
