“#Am I wrong in expecting a thank-you note after an interview?<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Maybe I\u2019m old-fashioned, but it really bugs me when app<\/a>licants don\u2019t send a thank-you note after an interview. There are candidates that I really like who I would consider hiring, but I don\u2019t even want to invite them back for a second interview when they don\u2019t send a thank-you note. Is that time-honored courtesy dead?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not dead, but dying. Just like good writing. And it has nothing to do with age or being old-fashioned, my friend, it has to do with respect. Social media<\/a> is, on balance, great, but one consequence (besides excessive screen time and the blue light turning our teens into zombies) is that no one knows how to write anymore, unless it\u2019s in acronyms for Twitter or email. It\u2019s horrible. Thank-you notes aren\u2019t a fad. You send a thank-you note when someone sends you a gift, or after they host you for dinner \u2014 or if you want a job from them. There are many people walking the Earth today who have interviewed with me who didn\u2019t get to the second round \u2014 or didn\u2019t get the job \u2014 because they didn\u2019t observe this simple, basic courtesy. So stick to your principles, and thank you for reading my column and writing to me.<\/p>\n

My boss has a \u201cshoots first and asks questions later\u201d style. It puts everyone on edge. How do I give my boss that tough feedback?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Complain to your boss about your upcoming raise or bonus before you even know what it is. Tell him that you assume it is going to be bad, and that he probably doesn\u2019t appreciate you. When he looks at you as if you are crazy, then say, \u201cThat\u2019s what we feel like every time you react to something before you know the facts or know what you are talking about.\u201d Oh, if only it was that easy. Listen, bosses are people, too \u2014 well, most of them act like it, anyway. If you don\u2019t say something, then it will never change, and you\u2019ll have to deal with this behavior until you find another job. If you quietly and confidentially give your boss feedback at the right time, and they don\u2019t respond well, then you probably don\u2019t want to work for that person long-term anyway.<\/p>\n
