I was interviewed for a job a week and half ago... I KNEW I wouldn't get it upon leaving because they told me they would be calling my last boss as a reference and I know he's been having a jolly time of smearing my good reputation - illegal... I know!
Any way, I got this email on Friday and my husband insists I respond to it offering myself as a fulltime candidate. Well I felt they pretty much told me they wouldn't... anyway, here's the email:
~~~
Kim,
I just wanted to follow-up up and once again thank-you for taking the time to come in and meet with us to discuss our needs for design services. Our goal is to find a full-time designer with experience to work out of the Norristown office and we have a few candidates we are currently considering. We would however appreciate you standing by on an "as needed basis" as things will start to heat up around here. Don't hesitate to follow-up with myself or Doug from time to time to check our work-load!
Thanks again and we will be in touch!
~~~
Now, I think the letter pretty much confirmed without saying it that they wouldn't hire me fulltime for any reason. Hubby wants me to send something back, but I feel like its groveling. As if they're going to admit my last boss spoke ill of me! :rolleyes: This is the reply I have drafted already but it feels fake to me:

Thank you so much for your time as well! I appologise for not responding to your email earlier - I have that awful flu that is going around.
I would love to be on stand-by and take on any work that you may need to have done. Please let me know if you need anything else, or if any of your other candidates don't pan out, as I would be interested in that full time in-house position.

Sound about right? Send it, not send it? Any ideas or thoughts to add?
