This time of year, we get lots of questions like "Should I wear the blue dress or black for pref?" "Should I list xyz on my resume?" My point is that it is always a good idea to practice good manners (you received a thank-you immediately, I received none), and that if a girl is wondering how she should prepare for recruitment, brushing up on social graces is a good base to cover.
A few years ago, I did on-campus interviews for my company's summer internship. I interviewed 12 people, and got zero thank-you notes. Seriously?
