Interview thank you letter Question
I just interviewed with a prop firm in Chicago as a trading clerk. They are saying they are planning to hire 10-12 people (main things they want are people who are detail oriented, hardworking, want to learn), not sure how many people apply for these positons. The intervew went well, I met with HR and then a Senior Trader. We got to talking about random things along the way golf and poker. Came time for the "brain teaser" questions, they said upfront they didn't care if it took a while to get the answer just that you can get the right answer. Well I had some difficulty with 2 of them because I was overthinking, ultimately I got the answers.
now my question, when I am writing my thank you letter (one to HR and one to the trader), would it be advisable to mention to the trader that I would work on my quick math skills or something along those lines? Or is reiterating that a bad idea?
Thanks for the help.
The more I think about it I am thinking it would be a bad idea and just focus on what positive values I can bring to the firm....should I also mention anything about what I learned from playing poker for 4 years (having a thick skin, dealing with swings in bankroll as they are applicable to trading in a similar fashion).
thanks.
Don't bring up any of your weaknesses in your thank you letter. On talk to the positives.

Dawgs21, sounds like a firm I just interviewed with. Your description matches exactly the words that came out of the senior traders mouth during my interview. Let us know how it goes..
