How do you tailor your thank-you message to different types of interviews and hiring managers?
When writing a thank-you note, I try to reference something the person shared with me during the interview, such as a mutual interest we bonded over. Adding this detail is a nice personal touch and demonstrates that you’re an active listener. I think this approach to tailoring a thank-you note works best if you’ve established a friendly relationship with the hiring manager.

What are some effective ways to overcome writer's block and boost your creativity?
Switching up my environment never fails! When I experience writer's block, I often find myself squirming in my seat and staring at my screen. Getting out of the space I'm in is a great way to refresh my mood and reset my focus. It could be as easy as moving my work station into the kitchen from my bedroom office, or traveling to a coffee shop. Another way I overcome writer's block is by going on a short walk or (when I really can't fight it) saving the task for later. I'm someone who does a lot of brainstorming when I don't have work in front of me. I'll admit that my best ideas usually come when I'm in the shower. Removing myself from a work setting relieves some pressure. That's why time management is key when working on a deadline.
