Interviewed with HR, didn't go well, and sent a follow-up email 2 hours later
I had an interview for a position that I was very interested in but I was not ready for some questions even after preparing. Some of the interview questions she asked caught me off guard and I did not do well. Feeling defeated, I sent a thank you email (almost immediately after) to her expressing my interest in the position and tried to make up for one of the poor answers I gave her. Was this a mistake? She ended the phone call saying there are other people as well as internal candidates she has to interview, before I hear anything. I was supposed to hear back by end of this week and I never did.
What bothers me is that I am very qualified for this job but the weird behavioral and in-depth questions about unrelated things during the phone screen interview will prevent me from displaying that to the hiring manager. Anything I can do? I plan to send her an email at the beginning of next week and asking for an update, but the rejection is going to hurt.
I'm so bored of seeing the same threads over and over on here.
Talk to the people that helped you get the interview. HR makes snap decisions and doesn't always get it right. Also: keep inteviewing at every place you can, it really is a numbers game.
I'm thinking there should be a website for people who've already gone through all the entry level stuff.It was an online application on their website and I was contacted from that. Any tips on what I should say when I email her next week?
