Thank you letters and example letter problem
It will clearly date me, but it was common courtesy to write a thank you note (yes, on paper) to -each- of the people with whom you interviewed at a company. Omitting thank you notes and rejection letters may have "optimized" the hiring process. Is what we have the result we wanted?
The example letter cites "family" issues as a reason for rejection. How did an interviewer come to know that the interviewee has a family? Was the candidate asked if they were married? Was the candidate asked how many children they have?
Tread carefully with issues like this.
