One out of Two is not bad

When we last left off yesterday I was excited about two interviews that I had scheduled for today.  And as the title of this posts states one out of two is not bad.  I first interview which was really a second interview went really well.  To quote a quasi friend I WOW them.  Which is a good thing.  As things stand I will have a third interview with them some time next week and meet with the big cheese or the President of the company.  Since I would really like this job I am really excited.  They asked me to do a report and they will have it.

The second interview which was a first interview posed and age old question, do you cut and run when you know that you do not connect on a first date?  At the start I knew that this job was most likely not a good fit but you never turn down an interview at least I would not.  You never know where it may lead and what may come of it.  So I went.  The interviewer told me that I was over qualified for the job which I knew but is that a good thing or a bad one? At the start I was answering the questions selling myself as if I was the best thing since well take your pick.  Unknowingly that was the incorrect thing to do in this case.  Is honesty only the best policy or if I fudge a little would I have been in consideration for a job I would have hated from second one?

Now the bigger question what do you say in the thank you letter. Not the standard I am really interested in this position stuff since I know that I am no longer being consider.  A poll of three people all said that this is a good position to be in since you know what your status is but also to mention that you appreciated their time and please to keep you in mind if something more suitable came up.  That I can do.  

Now on ward and upward to Monday's first and only interview and possibly a third interview on Tuesday for the job I would really enjoy.
