I was interviewed today for a copy-desk job at a weekly. (Did it go well? I hope so, but I suffered an attack of the "I should have saids" afterward!) The editor brought in the copy editor to meet with me for the interview. I sent a handwritten thank you to the editor within hours of the interview.
But I wonder if I should send a note to the copy editor as well. It certainly seems like the proper thing to do.
Thanks for your time,
Ms. Fuzzy Manners
One shows one's good manners when one sends note to thank people who have been generous with their time, and you were wise to write to the editor.
Now, write to the copy editor, as well. One does not want to leave others with the impression that one puts people of varying ranks on different levels for social etiquette.
Coming Thursday: He has 24 years of experience and works at a nationally respected midsize daily. Yet his letters go unanswered, and he wonder if human resources is tossing them.
