Interview Follow-Up

[Jim Barrow]

I had my interview yesterday for an Information Architect position.  It went
well and I can post about that separately, especially since I've learned a
great deal about how IA and tech writing responsibilities intersect.

 

My question today involves sending a thank you note after the interview.

 

I interviewed with a Director last and, after the interview, he gave me his
business card and said the following:  "Here's my card.  Email me if you
have any questions about the job."

 

I took this gesture as an opportunity for me to send a thank you letter
(email).  Since I worked with a recruiter to get this interview, I
telephoned her to give her my feedback regarding the interview.  When I
mentioned the business card above she immediately agreed that I should send
a thank you note, but insisted that I send the note to her first for
approval.

 

Does this sound like standard operating procedure?  I'm a big boy.  I think
I can compose a thank you note.
