Urgent question regarding follow up of interview - hoping for some insight

I had an interview about a week and a half ago. I initially thought I did ok on it, but as I keep thinking about it for the past week, now I think I did pretty badly on it.

I followed up with a simple, short emails to the interviewees right after the interview, and I received back an email from the director saying that I will be contacted in a couple of weeks.

But, I honestly think I did so badly on that interview that I want to fix it because the thoughts of how I could have done better are eating me up. Would it be BAD to send another follow up email with proper answers and attachments to their questions that were asked during the interview?

Please help a newbie out with some insights.

Don't do it. You had your chance (and maybe you did good, first impressions are generally true!). But apply to other job positions and learn from this experience.

 

I wouldn't send it. It seems like you might just be overreacting, anyway - you couldn't have done that badly if you didn't initially thought you did okay.

Also, if you really did that badly, a follow up won't change much, especially this late. Keep looking for other opportunities and try not to repeat the same mistakes. Good luck!
