I remember my mom harping on me about writing thank you notes any time anyone sent me anything. But, with my brother, she wasn't so insistent. From conversations I've had with other women who have brothers, my mom wasn't the only one who did this.
So, I guess my point is, generally, women value a hand-written note while men see any kind of thank you as, "Wow, they said thanks for the interview. Hmm."
You mentioned that one of the interviewers was male... were both of them? If so, then (according to my theory, anyway) you don't have to worry about the email. If the other person was a woman, look out!  |
I was always taught to send hand-written thank you notes for gifts. I wouldn't say it is a man/woman thing as far as that goes. To this day I continue the practice.
However, I still don't think it is needed or necessary after an interview.
