^ This is beautiful. I am very similar. After sending my resume's out to alumnae I know, I sent hand written thank you cards to them. And with in a couple of weeks I had recieved invitations to dinners, lunches, football games(to watch their sons), and teas, from 9 of the 15 women i sent my resume to. Handwritten Thank You notes always see genuine.
