The key with the non-profit is to continue to keep yourself on the top of the pile. If they have to interview other people, chances are it is because of the whole "must do a comparison" thing due to an internal recommendation. Which I hadn't thought about before. But which is still yuck. If they gave you a timeline, stick just inside of it -- i.e. if they said five days, give a call on the morning of the fifth day. And it wouldn't hurt to send a thank-you e-mail to your second interviewer, either. :o) Just continue keeping yourself top of mind.

I know it's so much work, trying to find and apply for jobs, and frame yourself into a two-page document that will make you seem perfect for the role. And it feels hopeless, when the whole world is out there and it's so incredibly huge and overwhelming, and you feel like a speck on a flea on the back of a hippopatomus, just before she sinks herself back into the mud to not move for several days. But what you are doing, and what you have done, is actionable and progressive.

Oh, I was planning to email you today and ask for Linda's email address, and ask if you thought sending real card through the actual mail would make more of an impression? (But of course environmentally that is not so friendly.)

I think real cards make a good impression. Environmentally? *shrugs* Not sure.

Definitely stick with e-mail for Linda. By the time anyone in this department gets around to opening mail, you'll be a year older. (The nature of a totally virtual department...) E-mail is basi: firstname.lastname@the same extension as my work address.

*love*

Cool! I will email them both today to say thank you. I tend to do that after any interview I hope will lead to an offer. :D
