Handwritten thank you letters set you apart—but only send them for roles you actually want.

• Don’t bother writing one if you had a weird vibe, didn’t connect, or just aren’t excited.
• If the company, manager, role, or pay feels right—go the extra mile.
• Keep it short, safe, and strategic. This isn’t a place for emotion or storytelling.
• The goal? To show appreciation, reinforce interest, and subtly remind them you’re the solution to their needs.
