OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???

“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”

I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT

NO ONE TOLD YOU???? WTF! I HAVE FAILED YOU.

Also:

Dear ______:

Thank you so much for the opportunity to sit down with you (&________) to discuss the [insert job position]. I am grateful to be considered for the position. I think I will be a great fit at [company name], especially given my experience in __________. [insert possible reference to something you talked about, something that excited you.] I look forward to hearing from you [and if you are feeling super confident: and working together in the future].

Sincerely,
@mellivorinae

THIS IS A LIFESAVING TEMPLATE

YOU ARE WELCOME

My brother got a really great paid internship one summer. The guy who hired him said the deciding factor was the professional thank you letter my brother sent after the interview.

should it be an email? or like a physical letter?

email, you want to send it within a few hours at max after the interview if you can so it’s fresh in their mind who you are. 

Confirmed! I interviewed for a job right after arriving in NY. The interview went incredibly well, and I went home and immediately wrote a thank you letter and put it in the mail. I had a super good feeling about this interview.

I didn’t get the job.

However, a few weeks later, I was called in to interview with another editor in the same company, and I did get that job. I found out later from the initial editor (the one who didn’t hire me) that he had planned to offer me the job, but since I didn’t follow up with a thank you letter, he assumed I didn’t really want it. He offered the job to another contender–but when he got my letter in the mail shortly after the offer had already been made, he went to HR and gave me a glowing recommendation. It was based on that recommendation that I got called in for the second interview.

So: send an email thank you immediately (same day!) after the interview. If you’re feeling extra, go ahead and send a written one too. OR go immediately to a coffee shop, write the letter, and return to the office and give it to the secretary.

Either way, those letters are important.

Pro tip: If you really want HR to develop a personal interest in your application, publicly thank them on linkedin. Just make a short post telling your network about how X recruiter really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome, or about how be accommodating and professional they were, or whatever. Make sure to use the mention feature so they’ll get a notification and see it. 

Flattery will get you everywhere… and public flattery that might make its way back to their manager, doubly so.

Obligatory plug for one of FreePrintable.net’s sites: ThankYouLetter.ws. They have a whole section with interview thank you letter templates, and a page with specific tips for interview thank you letters. (There are also tons of other letter templates if you browse around a bit.)

tips/tricks/hacks

independentassbitch:

Exercise/Diet/Losing weight:

  • I know you’ve heard it before but drink lots of water. Try to get at least 4 glasses of water a day if you can’t get 8.
  • Make detox water! Add about a teaspoon or two of lemon (just squeeze it out) into a glass of water, mix, and drink! Or you can add any fruit.
  • Eat slower, try to chew your food 20 times before swallowing it.
  • Use a smaller plate.
  • This is the best 4 minute workout for smaller waist, you will see results the next day, and it’s not hard, you won’t #FeelTheBern until you’re almost finished, and when you do, it’ll be in your calves.
  • Clenching your butt for 10 seconds then letting go can almost be as effective as squats. Almost.
  • Taking short 15 minute walks can do more than you think.

Whiter teeth:

  • brush for two full minutes, at least twice a day.
  • Put a little bit of baking soda on your toothbrush and brush for 2 minutes, unless you have sensitive teeth. Do not do it.
  • Please for the love of god do not use lemons. The acids in it break down the enamel on your teeth.

Useful/Helpful/Entertaining websites

  • Get Notify tracks whether the emails sent by you were opened and read by the receiver. It also provides the recipient’s IP Address, location, browser details, and more.

  • Scr.im converts your email address into a short custom URLs, that can be shared on public websites. This prevents your email id from getting picked up by spam robots, and email stealers who are on a constant lookout from your email id.

  • Privnote share notes and information that self destructs immediately after it is read, all you have to do is write your note, send the link to the person you want to read it, and once they have read it, the note will be long gone.

  • zerodollarmovies.com lets you find full-length movies on YouTube.

  • Unfurlr.come letsfind the original URL that’s hiding behind a short URL; this could help track viruses/unwanted ads/etc, before you click the link.
  • copypastecharacter.com lets opy special characters (like emojis) that aren’t on your keyboard. (To use, left click on the emoji, then right click where you want to post it).
  • Use coralcdn.org if a site is down due to heavy traffic.
  • random.org lets pick random numbers, flip coins, and lots more.
  • myfonts.com/WhatTheFont lets you know the font name from an image.

Make-up/body:

Tumblr:

  • No matter how many notes those survey posts have, they don’t work. You will not get paid “two times a week, $50 each time”. I’ve tried it and I can confirm that it’s bullshit.
  • Make your own posts. Reblogging things won’t get you any followers. Neither do those “follow for follow” posts.
  • You can view people’s blog without a theme by adding /mobile to the url. If someone has an ip tracker and you don’t want to show up on their ip tracker view their blog under /mobile 
  • You can’t find the identity of an anon by blocking the anon and looking at your ignore list, blocking anons doesn’t add anybody to your ignore list.- blocking the anon will ONLY prevent them from sending any more anons, they are not blocked off anon.
  • Please for the love of god get xkit, Missing e, and tumblr hate if you can, they will make your tumblr experience so much more enjoyable and easier.
  • You can view your tagged posts in chronological order. To do that, add /chrono to the end of a tag URL like this: http://%5Busername%5D.tumblr.com/tagged/%5Btag name]/chrono
  • You can find out what posts are posted on a specific date. You can do this by typing http://%5Busername%5D.tumblr.com/day/%5Byear%5D/%5Bmonth%5D/%5Bday%5D
  • When you enter your Tumblr username (or any Tumblr username) on trntbl, you can hear all the music you’ve blogged/reblogged.
  • Postlimit.com can show you how many things you’ve posted today, how many more you can before you hit post limit, your blog age, your last post, and a few other things, all you need to do is write in your url, you can also check other people’s stats too (no password needed).  
  • You can connect your email to Unroll.me and it’ll give you a list of emails you are subscribed to and you can unsubscribe from them with a push of a button, it won’t link you to a new page or anything.
  • if you are looking for a particular post in your blog and only remember a certain word or phrase, you can always do this: yoururl.tumblr.com/search/keyword

Other:

  • Hola unblocker is an extention on Chrome that removes region locks and allows you to watch BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Hula, Pandora, and more regardless of where you live. It doesn’t require any set up and works right out of the box.
  • If you ever accidentally close a tab while you were still working on something, don’t worry, ctrl+sh+t (control, shift, the letter t) will bring it back.
  • Putting a flat pillow outside in the sun for 30 min fluffs it back up.
  • If it’ll take you two minutes to finish, do it.
  • Using your phone while its charging damages the battery. Same goes for laptops/tablets/etc. Don’t do it.  
  • Places to watch movies/t.v. shows for free: putlocker, megashare9, watch32, let me watch this, couchtuner (tv shows only), cokeandpopcorn (tv shows only) .
  • The best acne fighting foods are watermelons, oranges, carrots, spinach, figs, whole grains, green tea, water, and almonds.
  • If you order papa john pizza online, use the code 25OFF for 25% off, valid only until the end of 2016.
  • Squeeze the juice out of a lemon and mix it with baking soda until you have a creamy thick paste. Apply it to your skin and leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse it off with cold water. Afterwards, your pores will be clean and your skin will be very soft.
  • If you’re moving into a new place, change the locks.
  • Cartoons for free
