After the interview - should I send on a more detailled pitch?

    I had a job interview yesterday - for my absolute dream job.

    It started very well, but I ended up waffling a bit too much and didn’t stay focused on what the interviewers were looking for. At the beginning, they warmed to me and seemed very interested. However, after a while I noticed one of them glancing at his watch a few times – a sure sign that I was rambling.

    I also made the mistake of taking the interview slot the day after I was offered it – I had been offered either yesterday afternoon, next Monday or next Wednesday. I was eager, so I jumped straight in. As a result, I wasn’t as prepared as I could have been.

    On top of that, the company already had lots of great plans that they told me about in the interview, which were more ambitious and thought-out than anything I had considered. I was fairly stumped when I was asked how I would improve things or the product, as they had it figured out… whereas I only had one day to think about it (and I was up to my eyes in work so I didn’t really think about it enough).

    Following the interview, I emailed one of the interviewers with a concise message highlighting my unique selling point. I thanked him (probably not enough tbh… I just said ‘thanks again’).

    Thing is, I could nail the job. I could fairly quickly put together a document outlining exactly what I would do with the position and how I could grow the business.

    Should I contact them by email AGAIN and offer to send on such a document? Or is that overkill? I'm worried that I'll just annoy them... but if I don't do it, then I won't get to sell myself properly.

    I think you should leave it be. You'll come across as a bit of a psycho to be honest. Nobody wants to work with an over-eager hurricane.

    I would leave it as well.
