Back in the day I used to hand deliver my thank you notes and make sure to politely charm the receptionist (without bugging them, creeping them out, etc...).
Years ago I had someone tell me that after they were hired they asked their boss what set them apart and paraphrased answer was that after shortlisting and interviewing they were all pretty equally awesome EXCEPT she had made the effort to send a polite Thank you letter that also clarified something. The follow-up gave them their job.
