Follow up letter after interview?

KT1985

Just had an interview, and felt it went well, they aren't finalising today, so should I send a follow up letter? I love the place and the job, and really want to come across well. It is an education post.

I had an interview last week and sent a 'thank you' letter afterwards. I got a second interview and the letter was commented on really positively - I don't think they get them often. I'd definitely send a letter, especially if it's a job you're really keen on.

Some people like them because it shows willing, and forward thinking, and some don't like them, they see it as a desperate attempt to get the job.
I would say in this case it is totally up to you, only you can go on the vibes you got from the interview.

Can't decide what to do now... I would just really like to send something as it was so positiveand want to say thank you, but not if it just makes me look desperate

Normally if you an interview and it has gone particularly well and you have enjoyed it and felt you have made a good impression you can send the employer a thank you letter, saying I enjoyed meeting with you, lovely company, blah, blah or these days send a thank you email. To keep it customary send a thank you letter but normally need to send it within 1/2 days max after the date interview.

Not to rain on your parade but most educational establishments confirm in writing if you don't receive a follow-up letter in the next 1/3 days it more than likely you haven’t got the job, and it will be an unsuccessful but thank for applying letter (Sorry just thought I should mention that!)

Goodluck in any-case.

They are phoning around tomorrow to let us know...

Maybe I shouldn't then, I just thought that it was a nice thing to do to say that I appreciated them taking time to talk to me, especially when it is an area f work I would really like to work in
