It makes them seem impersonal and cold. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1109291&forum_id=2#12974154) |

Date: October 12th, 2009 6:58 PM Author: supple garnet bbw I'd generally go with "unheard of." Obviously everybody gets their offer letters in the mail, but I've never heard of it just showing up without a call. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1109291&forum_id=2#12972413) |

Date: October 12th, 2009 7:23 PM Author: Mint passionate mexican dog poop so if i spoke with someone who said "we're drafting the letters today and will probably send them out today," that probs means that a phone call would come today or tomorrow to accompany any sort of positive letter?
i know this doesn't really matter, but i'm on the edge of my seat... |

Date: October 12th, 2009 7:26 PM Author: supple garnet bbw I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, but sounds vaguely like decisions are getting made in the next day or so. I would assume a ding if you just get a letter, but, on the other hand, I've never heard a recruiter mention drafting offer letters.

Date: October 12th, 2009 7:27 PM Author: 180 internal respiration I had a letter postmarked a few days before I got the call. Letter arrived the day after the call. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1109291&forum_id=2#12972674) |

Date: October 12th, 2009 7:38 PM Author: supple garnet bbw That's pretty cool actually.
The offer I wound up taking came as a phone call with a vague promise of a letter being drafted soon-ish. Like 3 weeks later I got the thing. And it was back when everybody respected NALP, so the guideline period (it wasn't 45 days like it is now, but something like that) didn't start until the letter actually showed up. Pretty ballin. |

They followed up with other letters, sent gifts etc. as well. I think someone just dropped the ball, or maybe that's actually how they do it.

Date: October 13th, 2009 10:54 AM Author: jade water buffalo garrison The *only* time this happens nowadays is when a firm sends out the "congrats" FedEx brownies or whatever the day the offers are confirmed in committee, and the partner fails to make the call to the associate before the package arrives the next day.
EDIT: But once, I *was* extended a callback in a letter. It was really weird. I assumed it was a ding letter coming a week later, but no, it told me to call them to schedule a callback. |
