My husband had another interview today...seems promising (there are 4 open positions for his interest, so he's not competing for one slot.)

They told him they're looking to hire someone by Oct 20th (when their training class starts). I plan to have him send a thank you note to the HR manager via email tomorrow morning, however seeing as how the hiring decision isn't right away, I'd also like to follow up with a thank you note via mail on nice stationery.

Any idea on when it should be sent? Right away? Or later to make a "final" impression?

Also, after interviewing with the HR Manager, he was interviewed by the Assistant and Branch Managers....should he send a thank you note to each individually or reference the Asst & Branch Managers in his note to the HR Manager?

I always ask for anyone who interviews me for their business card. I handwrite a thank you note and pop it in the mail the same day (the next day at the latest). I tell them thanks and include the date of the interview and the position I interviewed for as well as my phone number (just incase)

Good Luck to your husband!

Right away is best, so they know you are good at follow through. Good luck to your hubby!

I typically send it within 48 hours. I make sure I get all the business cards and make note of something "special" about each interviewer so I can personalize each letter just a bit. For instance, "Lets hope those Dodgers win!" if we discussed this during during the interview. Just from my experience, I know notes get forwarded on to other people including those also in the interview process so it's nice to stand out with a little more personalization.
