Follow-up Emails After An Interview?
Hi all,
I had two really promising interviews last week, both of whom said they would be interested in having me back for the final interview with the site manager.
The first one I interviewed with on Thursday and seems like a really good job with steady work and hours, but it's not in a field of work that I have a lot of experience with. The office manager asked when I would be available for a follow-up interview and I let them know that Tuesday or Wednesday of this week would be the best days. Everything seemed very positive and encouraging. I still haven't received a single phone call or email from them about setting up the second interview.
The second job was in a fairly niche field of work that I have a lot of experience with and I was especially excited about getting to interview with them. I met with the office manager in person and we discussed the details of the job, my work history, and the history of the company. They even showed me around and gave me a lot of information about the day-to-day goings on of the company. I researched all of the bullet points on their job listing and prepared answers for all of them. The interview went great and I was told I would be hearing back on Monday.
As a bit of added insurance, I re-checked the job listing over the weekend and noticed that there were a couple of bullet points that we did not discuss. I typed up a quick email thanking the office manager for taking the time to interview with me and added that I wanted to provide some additional information regarding the bullet points, concluding it with a "purpose" statement explaining why I thought my skills and experience would be a good match for the company.
Now it's late Tuesday afternoon and I haven't heard back from either.
I'm just stuck here wondering if that email seemed too over the top and if I disqualified myself from the role. They haven't updated the job posting site either way, but I can't help but wonder if screwed up and cost myself the job opportunity by sending in the additional email over the weekend.
What's worse is that now I can't decide whether or not I should follow up regarding the first interview since I don't know if following up after the interview accidentally disqualified me.
Has anyone experienced this with follow-up emails before? Everything I read on these job hunting sites encouraged a short, polite email after an interview but I can't help but second guess myself.
