Back from my interview!
Thanks for the good vibes everyone! I think it went well, and I'll know something within a couple of weeks.

2. Thanks!
They're going to try to contact my former employer. That's all that worries me. I don't think they like me much over there. :scared:

But, I think they won't interview anyone more qualified than me.

If it's not to be, I have a job now, and I'll deal with the future as it comes.

5. Good vibes for a great job!
I know what you mean about worrying about previous jobs. None of us is universally popular, if that's any comfort.

10. Congratulations again on your new gig!
I'm kinda thinking that my former employer won't say anything, positive or negative. That might say enough though...oh well, nothing I can do about it now.

I believe I remember you saying something along those lines.

Of course, I can say it again. ;-) Unless you'll be wanting to know the subject matter instead...

38. It's fine
if you never get caught.

You know, like claiming you're fluent in Mandarin Chinese and then one day the head of the Beijing office comes to visit... woops.

26. Good luck. You may want to send thank you notes to those you met with.
Thank them for interviewing you for the job. Talk about why you are a good fit. Close by inviting them to contact you if they require any additional information or clarification. You can also say that if you don't hear from them in two weeks you will contact them to see where you stand.

But I will definitely follow up with a thank you note.

and titles.

45. Wishing you good
luck.
Don't worry about the background check. Your current employer won't say anything negative. They are too worried about lawsuits.
And yes, as stated above, send thank-you notes to everyone who was involved with the interview process.
