Assuming you're still interested in the position, you should probably restate your interest.

Ok since I gave two smart ass (but useful) tips: like dan said, restate interest, use a sample or two from conversations in your meeting to illustrate why you’d be a good fit, be sure to indicate a willingness to provide further info/meet again/next steps without being too over the top.

Love this, just like my family, ask for help, get sarcastic answers and eventually become helpful lolol

@dansomeone @Corycm Perfect, definitely still interested.
They continually said that what I was doing now is basically what I'd be doing, so making sure to restate that again

I usually send a thank you email within a couple of days. Keep it short and sweet. Thanks for the opportunity to meet with you and your team... I also try to reference something that you may have learned about the organization from the interview (new location opening, upcoming strategic planning etc) and how you might fit into it.

Thank you emails after an interview are a thing over there? I’d totally think “lick arse, no thanks” if I got one of those from a prospective employee 😂

We say "kiss ass" but yes, unfortunately, they're a thing. I think they're harmless but meaningless. If your resume and interview didn't get it done, hard to see how a thank you email changes that.

Kissing a donkey, interesting phraseology 🤔🤪

Not ass = donkey, ass = fanny.

We use fanny for a completely different anatomical part to ones arse so you’ve just confused me even more 🤪

Ya @Joe Mac I can tell an resume from a Euro because it includes a glossy head shot. WTF?

It’s a requirement for most jobs I apply for alright. Almost like they’re paranoid you’ll hire a ringer to do the interview for you. It’s usually a passport photo rather than a head shot though!

god I’d never get hired if I had to send in those. I’ll take the “thank you” card.

They put my office in a window-less basement for a reason

Today I learned "lick arse". Thank you for this cultural moment, @Joe Mac .
As far as the email, short and sweet. Say thank you. State your interest in the position using something you discussed in the interview. Then say thanks again.

@nolalady my pleasure! I love teaching you British and Irish slang 😂
