I interviewed with a company today and they practically offered me an internship on the spot.

Posted by Hotkiss (aka hotkiss7348) Jan 29 '09, 16:33

The interview was 2:30 and I received an official invite via e-mail at 2:51 even though he told me he'd get back to me on Monday. I think this is a good thing?

Anyway, what now? The only info in the letter is my pitiful hourly wage and living options. I want to ask about hours per week, length of program, etc. Should I do this by e-mail too? Should I mention that "I'm going to have to think about it?"

Responses:

You are absolutely allowed to ask additional questions. Send a thank you letter for the interview (IN THE MAIL) but you can also send an email - Andie Jan 29, 16:40 1
- also - get that thank you card in the mail tomorrow. in fact, in your situation - Andie Jan 29, 16:41
We think you're great! Will you work for free starting today? -- nm - Mop Jan 29, 16:36
Do you have other options or prospects? All I know is I just heard a segment on internship placement companies that are growing fast... - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 16:35 4
- I haven't actually mailed out my resumes yet but I have 5 places I plan on pursuing heavily next week. - Hotkiss Jan 29, 16:40 3
  - I would assume the worst. Stay in close communication. And don't be squeamish about accepting it, even if you're 80% sure you'll take something else -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 16:43 2
    - I'd hate to cancel on them (although it's not like there's a deposit fee, I suppose). -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 29, 16:44 1
      - Yeah, it's not the nicest thing to do, but it beats the alternative of waiting too long and ending up with nothing. - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 16:50
Send a thank you letter. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 16:35
