Are you a PNM wondering what you can do to "improve your chances" at recruitment?

Lane-swerving here, but I think there's something about this that applies to all favors. Whether it's small or large, a thank-you note is a quick and simple gesture that should always be done.

I'm from the west, and even here, thank-you notes are a nice gesture. It's just that only few people do them. Yet, they definitely are a plus.

North, South, East, or West, you should always do your best to thank the people who help you improve yourself, or have gone out of their way for you.

Which makes you a better person, which makes you a more positive, interesting PNM, which helps your chances with recruitment.

Oh come on. That is a ridiculous stretch.

I am genuinely sorry that you feel that way.

It is flat out ridiculous to connect thank you notes with being a "better" person and then some how associating it with the success of one's recruitment.

You may believe it makes them a more polite person, shows good manners or what have you, but you're reaching really really far to claim 'better' person or that inherently they're more interesting as a PNM and have better chances at recruitment.

Unless you somehow have information on the respective results of PNMs who write thank you notes and those who don't instead of just wishful thinking.

I'm not arguing that it's not generally polite to send a thank you note, but it has jack to do with a PNM's recruitment and pretending otherwise is the only problem people have with the thread.

/and save your pity.

A catfight over thank-you notes?
You people are really bored!

Ah, but thank you for taking time out of your busy busy day to comment on it! I'm so glad you have more entertaining things to do with your time.

Pretty much everything on here is worth being bitchy about to some posters.
