Hmmm...again I'm learning something.  I never really bought into thank you
notes.  I suppose I knew that this was a professional way to wrap up an
interview, but I just saw them as subtly pushy and a bit too old fashioned.

Also, as previously posted, I have never, EVER, asked an interviewer "Can I
have the job?"  That, to me, is just too forward.  I've had bad interviews,
and I've had good interviews - interviews where I knew that I had impressed
the interviewers - but asking for the job would seem to place the
interviewer in an awkward situation.
