I need help with thank you note

Hello all,

I got an interview this past week, and was told to wait for a week on her reply. The manager seemed very impressed with me, and even told me that she has two positions for me to choose from. She did say along the lines that she has a position for me (twice during the interview). I don't know if I got the job for sure, but it seems like I got it. My issue, I totally forgot about the thank you note, what should I do? it's been 2-3 days since the interview? Should I email her first, then bring her a hand-written one in person? How long do you think is too long to call her about the position after the one week that she told me to wait, if I don't hear from her?


Thank you in advance for any tips and help!
Ouch...at least send the email and write a thank you note ASAP. 2-3 days is a big delay given mail travel rate these days. If you plan to be seeing this woman in person soon I guess you could give it to her that way. I personally see it as setting you apart from others when you send a hand written thank you in the mail. I just fear it looking like an after thought if you wait much longer.

OP,Call me old school (which would be accurate) but you've turned the thank-you note into a widget. A thank you note is a heart felt expression not an obligation. Mail it in the hospital mail-room before hand delivering it IMHO.

I don't think 2-3 days is that long at all. Send a real, heartfelt note out in the mail today or through the hospital mail room if at all possible. A lot of people totally forget or just don't even realize that a thank you note is a really nice thing to do, so the fact that you are even sending one likely puts you leaps and bounds ahead of many other people. I am a HUGE fan of the thank you note, but a few days delay will not tarnish the sentiment of what you are doing. Good luck on the new job!

LuLu,I wasn't being snarky and I'm sorry if I offended. I don't understand why you think you've only got 2-3 days to mail one. Brides and new grads think they have over two months (for an example).Personally, I felt if you hand delivered the Thank-you note and the NM hasn't hired you or completed the job interviews then it would be akward. That's why I suggested taking it to the hospital mail room and asking them to put it in her box. Also, I hired RN's for over six years and my decision never once hinged on a Thank-you note.
