I have an on-campus interview with an employer I would love to work for. I have been researching interview tips, and one of the most common ones is to write a thank-you note restating your interest in the position. However, I have seen some advice where they recommend you do it immediately after with a pen and paper, and give it to the secretary to give to the interviewer on his way out later that day. I have also seen advice where you should email it to them within the next day. What do you guys think would leave the best impression?

I think that's a great idea. Email is usually only preferred to a handwritten note because it's quicker. But if you're going to handwrite it and leave it with the receptionist, that's even faster-- and more personal. Excellent! Good luck!

apparently you shouldn't give a note to the secretary... In the note it should reflect what happened like: I am glad you had a nice flight here and I am glad we could meet.... That is what I used when the president of the company flew down to meet me... I wouldn't just write: thank you and look forward to working for your company...
You would need to add character... You can either do the email or hand written which ever is available to you... If you have to go to the nearest mail box on the way home after you write it.. or write an email.... But just make sure you have a email address to send it to...
Good luck

I am taking a class this semester on job interviews, resumes, etc. and my last class we talked about the thank you letter after the interview. My professor told the class that a thank you note should be sent the next day. It could be hand written or via email, but that all major CEO's expect the thank you letter, and if it were you and another person and you sent the thank you letter that without a dought that you would get the job. WRITE THE LETTER! Only good could come from it

Yes I would send a real thank you note in the mail, thanking the interviewer for his or her time and I how I look forward to hearing from them soon.

If you are trying to be personal and show interest then a handwritten note is much better than an impersonal e-mail, lost in the Inbox with meeting notes, spam and other rubbish.

Hand written sent within 24 hours.

Either is fine. I actually think that a hand-written note MAILED to the interviewer is more professional, but you can hand-deliver one, too. Email is becoming more widely accepted.

I'd hand write it, but mail it the same day or at the latest the following day.

A written thank you is always the best choice.

hand written carries more weight. Good luck.
