Okay – I had a great second interview with the same company on Monday. For my first interview, I met with the HR Director, the Hiring Manager and the Creative Director. On Monday I met with the VP of Advertising and we seem to have ‘clicked’. I have already sent my ‘thank you’ letters to all of those mentioned. They will be making a decision on who gets the job next week or the week after. Would it be tacky to send an email to ‘smooze’ the hiring manager to say ‘thank you for selecting me for a second interview and I look forward hearing from you … ‘
I an awesome job to ‘sell’ myself and I want to put myself infront of the other candidate(s). What do you think?

Following up with a short thank you e-mail to the hiring manager today or tomorrow will be just fine. Then follow up next Thursday with a phone call if you do not hear form them. Try to get them on the phone and just catch up really quick. They are interviewing other people and you want to stay in their mind. They gave you a vague time frame so just ask how they’re interviews are going and if they are getting close to “next steps.”
Good luck!
