Type-written thank-yous are acceptable for formal job interviews. Proper spelling, grammar and punctuation are critical in this situation. The name of the person you're thanking and the company name are especially important, so get a business card before you leave.

And writing a note when the event or gift receiving experience is fresh in your mind is much easier than trying to drudge up enthusiasm weeks after it's happened. Stay prepared by keeping a variety of note cards, envelopes, stamps, and craft materials on hand. How elaborate or creative you want to get is up to you. Kids will often show more enthusiasm in sending thank-you notes if making and writing the notes is seen as a creative venture. Have some cards that express your personality as well as the interests of people who are close to you. This way, receivers will be more likely to keep the card for a while, so they can be reminded of you or even keep it for others to see. Once you've gathered everything you'll need, designate a special box or drawer in which to keep it all. That way, you'll always be able to find it, and you'll quickly be able to decide if you need to re-stock anything. It's too easy to put off sending a thank-you note if everything you need isn't handy, so try not to let that happen. If it does happen, you can always create a "custom" card using craft materials or even your computer.
