What are the interviewing "rules of engagement"?
I had interviews last week for an equity research position. The circumstances, I believe, were somewhat unusual. To my knowledge no one else had yet interviewed for the position and the interview procecss was somewhat ad hoc. An MD saw my resume and thought I'd be a good fit. So I had an initial phone interview with another individual; she liked me so I got to go in to talk with the MD and another analyst for about an hour and a half. I think I did well with the MD because she spent the last 20 minutes of our hour-long convo selling me on the position while adding that she really liked me. Then I met the other analyst we chatted for a bit.
And the I had another phone interview, this time with an individual who acts as more of an HR director. He asked me a lot more in the way of "case" questions.
ANYWAY. I'm thinking that with the markets as screwy as they are these days, and with everyone so busy, I should do all I can to make sure that I'm not forgotten about. How can I best follow-up with everyone beyond the thank you emails that I've sent everyone already? or is this not adviseable?
Clearly they liked you and want you to join. And you've sent thank you emails already. Really the only other thing you can do is wait a bit and check in with them each week or so and see what the status of your offer is. Just make sure not to call every day multiple times, that might get annoying.
once a week until you find out, unless they give you a specific timeframe
A few more questions, if you don't mind.
Should I contact the MD or HR? Should I contact via email or phone?
Thanks!
I would recommend, as long as you really got along with the MD and they invited you to contact them in the future, to email the MD every 2-3 weeks. However, when you do this make sure the email has some value add, other than just "hey where am I at".
For HR, call, they get sooooooooo many emails that you almost always get lost in a pile, once a week give them a call and see whats up. They will be much more responsive, and should not hold it against you.
