Comment Interview (Score 2, Informative) 384
We just interviewed for an IT job at our University and I was on the search committee. Only ONE candidate emailed us back to say thank you for taking the time to meet with them and interview them. They appreciated meeting us, etc...
Guess who got the job? Most of the IT folks who interviewed had the same skill sets. It's the people skills that are lacking. One of the best things you can do is buy a book about interviewing and what to do/not do.
