Is Sending Holiday Cards To Hiring Managers Trying Too Hard?

0
0

Dear Experts,

I interviewed at a company recently and haven’t heard back yet. The hiring manager told me he was interviewing a lot of people for this job and wouldn’t make a decision until after the first of the year. I sent a hand-written thank-you note to the hiring manager right after my interview. I feel like we had a really good connection.  So, I was also thinking perhaps I should send him a holiday card, but wondered if that would be seen as trying too hard.

What do you think?
