      That’s definitely not a common thing, unless you’re fielding a new team or division. There is a limit though, yeah? So it could be a deciding factor even when hiring multiple positions from the same pool of candidates.

      Every thank you letter I’ve sent wasn’t a thank you letter at all. I call back to specific things the interviewer said during our interview, and make it one last opportunity to pitch myself as the best candidate.

        My industry is desperate. I hire people that are barely qualified if at all just based on if they seem like they’d be able to learn. So I recognize I’m an outlier, but just saying such situations exist. I’ve been doing this about 15 years and I’ve never once had more qualified candidates than roles to fill.
