Jancee Dunn Polls the Experts
![]() Illustration: Pierre Le-Tan Q: Is it okay to send a small gift to a potential employer after an interview? "No! No! No! A thank-you note is the most you should do." — Anita L. Allen, professor of law and philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania Law School "Absolutely never, not, no, forbidden, horrible, don't even think about it!" — Jack Marshall, president of ProEthics "Gracious: a thank-you note or a book you talked about. Desperate: a life-size piñata replica of yourself filled with references and miniature bottles of Absolut." — Faith Salie, host of public radio's Fair Game from PRI with Faith Salie "Sending a gift could be misconstrued as "I'm desperate," "I'm romantically interested," or "There's plenty more where that came from."
