Is it customary to write a thank you note after being offered a job if you are accepting it?
November 10th, 2009 | by admin |I just accepted a teaching job through the human resources director at the district that I interviewed with. However, I have only spoken to the principal that I interviewed with once and all she did was give me the human resource phone number. I don’t know if I should send a note to the principal or not. Please help!
Thank you notes are a touch of class to any interview process. So many people don’t do it any more that it always puts you in a better light.
To answer your question, if the tables were reversed, and you were the one who gave the phone number, would you appreciate the thank you note?
It never hurts to say thank you.

I always send a thank you note after the interview to the people I interviewed with. However, even if you didn’t interview with this principal, if she pointed you in the right direction to get the job, I would probably drop her a note letting her know you got the job and thanking her for her assistance. You never know when the connection will come in handy, and you want to make sure she remembers you well.
