I interviewed with a close knit team one by one yesterday. I know they already had an individualized decision about me by the end of day. I think they probably already discussed me (positively or negatively) today as they've had next day decisions up to this point throughout the interview process. I'm planning to send thank you emails tonight but I'm wondering if I should just not do it. The reason why is that, I said some things during the interview that I'm embarrassed about. I should've not said anything but it's too late now. The interview overall ended on a positive note, but after looking into what I said, they may view me in a negative light now. I'd rather just shield away and just wait for their decision without the thank you emails. I know I didn't provide much detail, but are thank you letters going to matter much? Everyone gave me a card at the end of each interview so I don't know if they're expecting it or not.
Yes, send a thank-you note. You have nothing to lose.
I fear that they're viewing me in a negative light after they gathered together to discuss everything I said. This makes me hesitant to send thank you notes because I don't feel that they will be welcomed.
I would still send thank you notes anyways. I mean what would it hurt? And honestly, in my humble experience in the working world, thank you notes matter. Period. It could very well be the thing that pushes you forward. And if it doesn't, then at least you look professional. Also, I would have sent the emails yesterday instead of waiting until today. But that's just me.
The curiosity is killing me - what could you possibly have said that is so horrible that the interviewers would not 'welcome' a thank you?
Yes, thank them. It can only make you look better. We all have social flubs. We all get nervous in interviews. But now you need to pull it together and send some thank you emails.
I agree you should send a thank you note. Even if you made a mistake during the interview and they knew that writing a thank you note will show you are trying to move forward and repair the problem.
