Yesterday I went to a job interview with the Boy’s and Girls Club. It was for a Teen Program leader. The interviewer asked me what classes I would teach to the teens. I told her I didn’t know. I have been killing myself over that question/answer lol.
I went home and did research.
Would it be inappropriate to email her with the classes I came up with and the explanations of them?

Working in HR, that would be GREAT, it show that you don’t give up quick. You like to get things done and you don’t just give an answer that you think “I” would like. I like the fact that it stayed on your mind, our kids are very important and if the HR person is smart she or he will notice that and you WILL get the job! Good Luck!
You know, most people go home from an interview and rack their brains for something meaningful to say in a follow-up email (or letter). In your case, you should feel great that you have something authentic to say.
If you construct it well, your follow-up email with a list of ideas will demonstrate (without seeming contrived) that you left the interview enthusiastic about the opportunity, and with your mind on how you could make a difference in the job.
Just make sure: 1) you check your spelling (and grammar) and 2) you think about your ideas from the Boys and Girls Club point of view. Make sure the ideas you put forth are respectful and responsible (ie things that wouldn’t cost a fortune).
In terms of how you open, I would simply say that you had a lot of ideas after you left the interview. There is no need to apologize for not having them in the interview. Just play up the fact that your were thinking about it as you left.
You should point out that you would have a lot to learn about the B&G club, and what works and what doesn’t. And that these are just some beginning ideas as a newcomer.
Good Luck. I hope it works!

Im a Human Resources student. It wouldnt be innappropriate… just lets her know you are prepared.
I think it would be inappropriate to do so. You are supposed to be prepared at the interview. It’s worth a shot to try emailing it to her, but may be seen as a negative gesture.
I don’t think it would be inappropriate for you to email the interviewer- I actually think it would be a good idea. It would show that although you had not prepared yourself for this question, you at least took the initiative to research and think about the answer after the interview. It may show you are really interested in this position. This is just my opinion but at the end it’s up to you.
What have you got to lose by sending the email? Your question suggests that you believe that you will not be offered the job as a result of your interview response.
By sending the email you cannot harm your chances. If I were the interviewer, I would be impressed that you went to the trouble of submitting a more considered response.
Good luck!
idk
maybe you should just tell her in person
Do it! I hope you told her that you didn’t know what was already being offered. What you would each depends on your training, what they need, and what resources are available. Yes, tell her what you would do!
