Well the interview ended with her saying “Ive got more interviews so I’ll let you know next week either way.” Thats means I didnt get it right?
Also, would it be a good idea to send a than you email saying how I enjoyed the interview and am interested in the job or would that make things worse?
With most companies they can’t give any indication of how the interview went, so as they remain impartial until all the interviews are finished. I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll find out soon enough.
I wouldn’t e-mail yet, don’t want to seem over keen
It could mean several things. They might have other people already scheduled to see. They might have someone review the interviewer’s notes before they make a decision. They might always do a second, “fatal flaw” interview before they hire. In other words, they might have a procedure that they don’t deviate from. The bigger the company, the more likely this is.
Or, you didn’t get the job.
I don’t think it hurts to follow up. Thesadays, everyone is trying a little harder. I do a lot of hiring, and I never view a followup as a negative. It might not help much, either.
I’m actually not a fan of people following up with me, if you want to know the truth. If I say I’ll get in touch with you either way, it means I’ll get in touch with you either way, on my time. Of course, I usually give people a very specific day upon which I will get in touch with them and a semi-specific time.
I wouldn’t hold one follow-up against someone, though. She said she’d get ahold of you, “Next week,” so I think Wednesday would be a fine follow-up day. Just make sure not to re-follow up. I know I hate that, at another place I worked a guy that would have probably got the job didn’t because he called me three times in the same week.
A follow up is a good idea. Wait a couple of days, though. One more word of advice, if you’re going to forward their email to a third party with personal comments, make sure you click on “forward” and not “reply”.
Personally, I think it’d send a better message to write a thank you letter on some nice paper and send it directly to the person that interviewed you. It’s a better gesture than e-mail. They’ll contact you if you got the job.
