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...
