Superday at Small Firm - Some Questions
I had a superday last Wednesday with a very small firm (about 18 people total, excluding support staff). I thought it went incredibly, ridiculously well, but I still haven't heard back and it has almost been a week.
I interviewed with about 13 people, and all of them gave me their business cards. But when one of them handed me hers, she said "but [the guy who I had my 1st round interview with] is your real contact point at the firm," which I took to mean that I shouldn't bother her with emails, so I only sent a follow up email to that one guy.
I have a couple of questions: 1) Am I rejected? 2) Is it too late to send thank you notes to the 12 other people who I interviewed with? It has been 6 days 3) When should I follow up with the one guy who I have emailed consistently?
Rule 1: you need to write a thank you letter to everyone you interview at the firm. Don't give people preferential treatments (like write to an MD and not to an Associate) Rule 2: make sure you write every email personally. Don't CC everyone or just send the same generic email to everyone that you interviewed with. (I know someone who did that and it didn't go well with everyone at the office when they started comparing the notes.)
Your question: 1) No, you have not been rejected unless you get something in the email. 2) I think that you should still write a brief thank you letter to everyone that you interviewed with. Make sure they are all slightly different. Don't send the same email to everyone. 3) Don't be a pain. Leave that guy alone, maybe try in 2 weeks later (from the first day that you interviewed with him). Remember all of them are busy and if you emailed them consistently, they are going to get annoyed and you will come off as desperate.
Thanks. Another day without a response, haha. This is the worst -- everything is completely out of my hands.
