Hello
While phone interviews are not face to face, they nevertheless require an investment of time and attention from the individual who is conducting the interview. Preparation for the interview is just as much the responsibility of the interviewer as it is for the applicant. After the interview, more time will be spent evaluating the information and impressions that formed during the course of the interaction. In the final analysis, a person that holds an interview invests quite a bit of time and resources into the event. Following up with a thank you card is a means of acknowledging that time was spent working on the interview before, during, and after the actual meeting. Thanking the interviewer for that effort demonstrates insight and consideration for other people.

Personalized thank you notes also send a clear message that you are a person who likes to pay attention to detail. With many positions, the ability to organize and complete tasks within a reasonable time frame is a huge advantage. While sending a thank you card may seem like a small thing, the act demonstrates that you do not like loose ends and that you proactively take steps to ensure that everything is in order. For this reason, many interviewers will find that a thank you note to be worth giving your resume and your interview comments a second glance.

Thanks
