Search Results: get my attention

I saw a rather sad post the other day that said that women are given so much positive reinforcement gets so much positive attention that the slightest bit of criticism will destroy their self esteem and that men are so starved of positive affirmation that the slightest compliment will make their day, week, month or decade.

This is back to front given men are the ones actually building and creating a society that is functional, provided for and running safely on the whole that continues to make improvements and women are not infallible but bring the human part of humanity into existence through their nurturing and caring at the foundation of life.

Compliment someone, don't fight or bicker. We're all paddling in the same seas

Speaking for myself 25 years ago ONLY! I would send a TYPED SNAIL MAIL TY note to the person / committee head as I viewed it as an OPPORTUNITY to talk myself up again & also to make myself memorable by including some exchange we had at the interview. I would also talk up the secretary, security, custodian - IDGAF who or titles - just to get SOME small advantage over other candidates.

So, are TY notes still a thing and if so what format? IMHO, If you're NOT sending a TY you're a fool & don't deserve the job!!

Also, I've been on hiring committees where the person DID send a TY but neglected to sign it in ink. To me that was a 🚩🚩🚩 that they were either lazy or didn't pay attention to details and became a ❌ against them. To me that kind of shit matters - a lot!
