11. Put yourself in the shoes of an employment recruiter. You’re impressed by a job candidate’s résumé and references. During her interview, she responded well and asked insightful questions about the company. She’s the best fit of all the applicants you have interviewed thus far. But, oh, no! She failed to send a thank-you after she met with you. Should you cross her off the list? Jessica Liebman, a publishing executive who has been hiring for ten years, did just that. Ms. Liebman followed her own simple rule: If someone doesn’t send a thank-you e-mail, don’t hire that person. No thank-you, no job! She claims that a thank-you note differentiates the “bad eggs” from the “good eggs.” Do you agree with this reasoning? Why or why not? (L.O. 4)
