Sounds desperate to me.

Discriminatory against millennials. Can't they just text “Tnx’?

[HotHunt]

It does not sound desperate. It's sounds polite.

It's just good manners, which are few and far between nowadays.

If the person you interviewed with is stuck between which of two candidates to hire, sending a thank you note might just break the tie in your favor.

"While not all hiring managers take thank-you notes as seriously as Liebman, 80% find such messages helpful when reviewing candidates, according to a survey by Accountemps…"

It may be desperate.

But so is waiting to hear back after an interview.

Waiting to hear a call that never comes.

[TexasGator]

“Sounds desperate to me.”

Not to a civilian.

Another problem is how this can come across wrong. Say too much or too little, and it hurts you. If you don’t have the contact information, you can’t send it.

[Cecily]

No, desperate would be to enclose a $50.00 bribe with the thank you note.

I’ve had 4 separate jobs since I have been out of the Army. All of them I was offered the job after the interview, and all of them, I sent a thanks for the interview-type letter. Not desperate, but shows I am interested and determined. It works.
