I'm off to my job interview. Wish me luck!
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ok...I have the job if I want it. But, here's the thing. It's a filing job. I don't really want it. Now I have to e-mail the other two people I'm waiting to hear back from and tell them I have an offer, and I need to make a decision. I hope this doesn't backfire. I don't really want a filing job.

Ok...here's the e-mail I just wrote. How does this look?
I just wanted to follow up and make sure that you received my updated resume last week. Also, I wanted to let you know that I have received a job offer. It is for a filing position in Human Resources. I have asked Denise McNair to give me a day or so to think about it so I can follow up with you.
I am better fit to use my skills with a job like the research assistant position. I am very interested in the position, and if you have not filled it, I would really like to speak with you about it again. I just don't want to accept this other position, then get an offer from you, which is what happened in May.
I do not want to put pressure on you, so if you are unable to make a decision at this time, just let me know.
Thank you so much!

move out and draw fire
vw, my two cents oppose sending that letter. If you send a note that says "Did you get my res? Can we talk?" that would be fine, but if I received a letter like yours from an applicant it would prejudice me against that applicant.
It's nicely written, but there are two things against it: 1) it sounds like what it is: pressure. There's no way to disguise that. 2) There is an element of largesse in offering someone a job, and most employers having two equal candidates would give the job to the candidate who didn't have another option.
