Finding a job takes effort, there is no such thing as trying too hard when it comes to finding the right job for you.

Imagine yourself as an interviewer - you've interviewed 20 candidates (which is a low number in some cases) each candidate was qualified and had the necessary skills for the job. Eeenie Meenie Miney Moe might work in this case, but if 2 of those candidates took the time to send a personal thank you note for your time, most interviewers would move those two people to the top of the list (least in the US) because they've gone the extra few steps to show that they really want the job...
