If you send a handwritten thank you note after an interview, should you also send a thank you email? Will this make me stand out or look like a try-hard?
My plan is to send a handwritten note (should arrive the next day) and follow up with an email a few hours after the interview. The email and note will essentially say the same things but obviously be written differently.
Is this a good strategy?

In my opinion: too much.
Overkill. Also, if you have crap handwriting (like most guys), that's a double ding...
My handwriting isn't the best but I still think a handwritten note is better than an email
@Johnson
I hear ya. For me, I would do an email. If you really prefer a handwritten note, more power to you. But IMO, doing both is a bit excessive.
Just my 2 cents...
Asperiores quisquam sapiente neque aliquid. Vero iste rerum sed. Et maiores repellendus in culpa delectus fugit. Earum est consequatur ut non nemo.
Suscipit architecto nihil delectus quia quibusdam. Quisquam repellendus consequatur repellendus.
