Good luck. I'm pretty sure you'll do better than the people I've been interviewing lately. It won't be hard.

I say kick 'em in the nuts, scream, "I'd never work for you idiots in a million years," and storm out. Employers want nothing more than an employee they think they can't have.Originally posted by Japher

Rock on!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

All my interviews are now done. Most of the people I interviewed with I already knew in a professional setting, some in a not so professional setting. It's tough to tell how it all went, but overall I think it was fine. Meaning, I didn't put my foot in my mouth or regret anything I said.
Question: Should I send a thank you e-mail?Comment

butttttkisss if you do.
but sure if that's your thing, do it.Comment

When you grow up, b etor, you will learn the difference between common courtesy and arsekissing.
I have learned that a little ego stroking can go a long way to helping out one's career and position in life. My primary loyalty is to the welfare of my family, and if that means that I have to tell a complete jerk that he is likable guy than so be it.Comment

I believe the "thanks for the interview" email is now pretty standard.
I would stay away from the buttkissing ("I learned so much about the company, I can tell you really have a team atmosphere, plus that was a great tie you were wearing, do you mind if I suck you off?") and just keep it short and straightforward.
Easiest is probably to just let remind them of the best way to contact you once they've made a decision (phone, email, and Poly PM). Close with "I look forward to working with you/joining the team" -- an optimistic statement that implies you had a great interview and are confident of getting the gig.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
