Why would she send this? Interview

So I'm sure many of you have seen my previous post. In a nutshell again, I am job searching and have had a few interviews recently.
I have got a job (not the job I would like but something I suppose - I have been unemployed for 5 months so grateful for anything) But! There is this job I interviewed for last Tuesday. It's a great job, it's exciting, it's challenge, it's in the right industry for me, it's just brilliant! So interview was last Tuesday, went well I think but I was nervous. On Wednesday I emailed my interviewer saying thanks for her time, it wasn't a begging email it was a short/sweet thank you and just pointing out in one sentence that I'm interested in the job.
This morning I got an email from her saying they are interviewing more people tomorrow and will be in touch by the end of the week.

I never got an email like this before. Why would she send something like this? I mean it's great don't get me wrong and really appreciate it but not sure what to answer? Has it happened to anyone else before? My heart literally jumped out of my chest and been thinking about this job since last Tuesday. I can't cope. Wine on Monday morning too much 😂?!

Did they say it was nice to meet you in the email back?

She said it was good to meet me last week. How does that matter?

Good luck, OP

People who send follow up emails or who phone in asking for feedback look and sound desperate bollocks. And if they do you don’t want to work for anyone who thinks like this OP.

She's just keeping you posted as a polite reply to your email. Don't reply to this one or you will look too keen. I have sent the exact sort of email she sent to you to many interviewees, both ones I was and was not interested in as a potential candidate, so I don't think you can read too much into it. However, the polite email you sent is likely to have gone in your favour. I think you've tread the tightrope of too keen vs not interested just right if you leave it til you hear back now. Ask for feedback if it's a no! (And also later on when in the role if it's a yes!)

Well, because if she didn’t it would have been rather curt!

BumbleyBum · 18/12/2018 09:03

I don’t really understand why you’re shocked by her email.. what were you expecting her to say?!
Surely, ‘It was nice to meet you too. We will be in touch once we’ve made our decision’ is the expected?

geekone · 18/12/2018 09:03

OP don’t fret it’s a standard reply. Also your email wasn’t strange for sales roles etc it would be expected to send an email thanking the interviewer for their time etc.

Good Luck.

Good luck for the job 😁 Ignore those who are being rude and petty...they must be bored.

Any news OP?
