My friend always tells me how great this company is. I am [your name]. Please call me if you are hiring. Here is my card." The beauty of this tactic is that not only is it face time with the hiring manager, but the context makes if feel like you are one of them, even though you're not. "Happy holidays.

But I guess it can't hurt; if they have already passed you over, what have you got to lose? It won't cost you a job. I think a lot of things have to be evaluated in that context...don't worry if your strategy is a little unusual, the worst that can happen is they don't call you back...but the best that can happen is they do. So why not. I'm not so sure about that holiday card idea…I hate to sound negative, but getting cards from interviewees just seems a little weird.
