A surprisingly small percentage of interview candidates take the time to write a thank you email. Once people get to mid-career, they expect that their experience speaks for itself and so the thank you note is not important. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Work email and presentation documents aren't literary fiction. There are no bonus points for using interesting adjectives or SAT words. The average office worker gets 121 emails a day according to a study by DMR. You need to get to the point… nobody has time for allegory.
