>> I mean, you know, we're all in a world of I want what I want.
I want it yesterday.
So email is clearly the most effective way to do it.
I think in the email, it's important to reiterate something specific from the interview
or the conversation that you think went well.
Based upon XYZ, Brian, that you said, I really feel that my experiences, my skills, my --
you know, what I, personally, like would fit.
And thank you for the time.
Always thank you for the time.
One thing that I've been doing, even personally,
in my own professional involvement is handwritten notes.
Think to yourself, when was the last time you got a handwritten note from somebody.
All right, you probably read it.
You might have even kept it on your desk for a little bit longer than the email that went
to your trash or got filed away two seconds after you read it.
And I think that's a professional touch that you don't get a lot today.
And as I said, I'm starting to do with my financial advisors,
and sometimes I even find whatever is that I sent them along with the note on their desk
when I come to their office the next time.
So I think that's a nice touch to help you stand out and not be too over the top.
