“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
thank you emails are sufficient
ive never done this but perhaps hand written thank you notes (at least to hiring manager) can help set you apart. although if you did a good job during the internship you have nothing to worry about
Emails are enough! :)
it’s not appropriate to give a gift as an intern. Well worded thankyou email is perfect.
Nice $35-50 bottle of wine, what I did and I think it was appreciated. Maybe find something that is special or in some way connected to the person i.e. from Spain a Spanish bottle, from California something from napa
2 scenarios.
Get FT offer - either thank you email, hand written note with a small gift (could do something they mentioned about during internship. make sure to adhere to company gift policies though)
No FT offer - glitter letter (where glitter goes everywhere).
