We get all dressed up, take time off work or from whatever, get all stressed out and hold onto hope that maybe the decision has not been made yet.  I just think a well written email with thanks for our interest would really help.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8099321199054904439/7962760456670089840/comments/default/8587299040766180332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8099321199054904439/7962760456670089840/comments/default/8587299040766180332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thehrmaven.com/2008/11/hiring-decisions.html?showComment=1275595178428#c8587299040766180332' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thehrmaven.com/2008/11/hiring-decisions.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099321199054904439.post-7962760456670089840' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8099321199054904439/posts/default/7962760456670089840' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099321199054904439.post-3858323483590419147</id><published>2008-11-23T21:32:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T21:32:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Excellent common sense advice.
