Ask if there is a timeline is okay. Asking for a date isn't, because if there was a date. I woulda told you already.
Joe--from now on, I suggest you send a written thank you note directly to whoever interviewed you. It may not matter, but some managers set a lot of store by those things and you never know. We didn't hire one guy who blew us away in his interview because he never sent a note, and the head of that department felt that showed he didn't really want the job.

absolutely. If the person doesn't care, you've wasted two minutes. If they do care, it can make or break you.
A very belated...
You have a type?
Aside from, you know...alive?
HEY!!! Standing. Right. Here.
Sox:(Homer Simpson noise): Mmm, McNulty...foamy.
Anyone have thoughts on email thank yous vs snail mail ones? As long as I'm in the interviewing mode...Also, interviews in my industry tend to be those "it's six hours and you meet with 15 people"--feelings on just sending to some people? To groups?
{{{Cashmered and family}}} Hoping hard for improvement with additional treatment.
I have no advice on interviews, but wish all you interviewees well.
when I had a marathon round of interviews, I wrote to each person who interviewed me specifically. Man, my hand hurt after that.
It could be also appropriate, though, to just send thank you notes to the hiring manager/big cheese/main point of interview contact and be sure to acknowledge the pleasure that it was interviewing with this person's colleagues.
{{{Cashmere and family}}} Oh love, I'm sorry. I, too, am hopeful that further treatment will make it all better.
I've tended to do email thank-yous, especially when it feels like the process is moving fast--if they're planning to make a decision before the snail-mailed thank-you would even get there. And with groups, it kinda depends on the vibe. I sent a group email thanking all three of the people I talked to interviewing for my current job. I think that's against the rules, but here I am.
Wish I could have made it up to Seattle this weekend. Pout.
Juliana, did you still have a trip planned? I haven't heard anything recently.
HEY!!! Standing. Right. Here.
Yeah right, in that 'omnipresent all-over-the-internet- kinda way'. You might as well go all Vorlon on us and do "We have always been here."
Vorlons & Vogons within 50 posts. Huh.
