Should I respond to HR confirmation emails?

[kulong]

Hi RFDers,

I just got off the phone with the HR department of a potential employer. During the call they gave me information on the schedule of the interview day and the people I will be speaking to. The interview consists of talking to 1 director, 1 manager, and 2 other employees in a similar role at the company for 1 hour each, and the 1 hour session with the manager is over lunch.

The HR department sent me an email after the call with everyone that I will be talking to Cc'ed. My question is, should I reply to that email with a "Thank you for your consideration" etc, or should I not respond to it. If I should respond, should I reply just to the HR or should I reply to all those that are Cc'ed.

Thanks

Doesn't hurt to just Reply All and say "Thank you for your email. I look forward to meeting everyone on __________".

If HR calls you and then send you confirmation e-mail. I believe in this case it's ok not to reply.

But if HR just sent you e-mail for an interview; you really want to confirm that meeting.

I guess if you think they'll value your response then go ahead. If you were in their shoes, would you care if the potential new hire you never met sent you an e-mail thanking you for your consideration? I know I wouldn't. But then again, it might not hurt to respond. They may think you're a pleasant person, which could help you. Or they may assume you're an ***-kisser, which may or may not help you.

Something like "noted with thanks" should suffice.

Yeah this is what I was worried about, dont want to come across as an ***-kisser.

I ended up just saying something like "looking forward to speak with everyone on the day of.
