The Thank You Note That Gets You Hired

Lucas and Luna break down the surprising data behind post-interview thank-you notes and why most candidates blow it. They look at a 2025 study of 500 hiring managers that found 68% would reject a strong candidate who didn't send one, and 42% said a poorly written note actually hurt the applicant. The hosts walk through the three specific elements that make a thank-you note effective, including the 'second-chance paragraph' that can salvage a flubbed interview question. They also reveal the one mistake—copying a recruiter on a note to the hiring manager—that backfired for 31% of candidates in the same study.
