I am looking for advice on protocol and etiquette when following up with the hiring department of a company. I recently interviewed with another regional carrier and felt it went very well. I felt like the job was mine when I walked out of the room. I was told to expect to hear from them sometime last week, but not to worry if they didn't call then. Tomorrow will make two weeks since the interview and I am considering following up with them. Is it okay to do this and if so, how would one word an email? Advice from anyone on hiring boards especially appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It is usually a courtesy to the interviewer to send a Thank You note or email within 24 hours of the interview.

Did you do this? If not, get one out.

No, the person being interviewed (interviewee) should send a thank you note to the person who gave the interview (interviewer)

It would be nice if it were the other way, then the OP wouldn't have this issue.

After reading your post multiple times - I read it wrong.
Yes - the INTERVIEWEE could/should send a note to the INTERVIEWER.

Ah.....words!

They are funny words, I had to see if I was crazy.

I did not, but I will. That is something I would automatically do if it were corporate or a very small company. Given it is a large regional, I gave it no thought.

Do it for any potential employer. Somebody in HR will open and read it, that will remind them that you are interested as well as calling attention to yourself in a positive, acceptable manner (as opposed to calling and bugging them every day about when you can start).

I suspect some AAirlines would likely disqualify you for failing to follow up.

Thanks for all the advice. I did send a follow up email this afternoon.

I never even thought about sending a thank you email at both of my employers.

It's a good idea!
