Create a Great Workplace

Ed Muzio, president and CEO of Group Harmonics was my guest on the Business901 Podcast and we had a great discussion on how to make Make Work Great: Super Charge Your Team, Reinvent the Culture, and Gain Influence One Person at a Time. He is a leader in the application of analytical models to group effectiveness and individual enjoyment. This is a must listen for Kaizen Leaders and participants. Great tips and tools that can be instantly implemented. I was very impressed on his ease of explanation and mastery of the subject.

The Thank You Note - It's Still Important

 
The Thank You Note - It's Still Important

You are unique ... your interview experience is unique ... and your response should be unique as well. Take notes during your interview and recap important points in your thank you note. You can also mention objections you hope to overcome or new information that perhaps supports your candidacy. Write as if you were in a conversation with the recipient. Be concise and make sure that every word adds value.

The standard suggestion has been to send a thank you note / letter or email directly after the interview, which is fine. However, many candidates find that they get an EVEN BETTER RESPONSE with a simple store bought plain thank you card with their brief remarks inside. A card that comes in a non-business-style envelope stands out from all of the boring business mail and emails that are received each day and shows a more personal touch than a stuffy letter or email.
