And you're so right about the time involved; I think that's why it seems valuable to me. I have to say: good for you for doing that!! I've done maybe two dozen in-person interviews, and I've gotten two thank-you notes. While a note doesn't make me hire someone who isn't qualified, it does make me give them a second look.

It was incredibly time consuming and looking back, I would probably not do it again. Each card took me about 20 minutes to write because it was so specific and detailed. But a hand-written card with its beautiful handwriting and analyzing the handwriting styles speaks about the person's care into the note. I love the cursive style handwritings of a thank-you note. It seems so elegant and fancy. I wrote about 10+ thank you notes last year mostly for professional purposes. It was incredibly time consuming and looking back, I would probably not do it again.
