Who on your side should I talk to if this isn't your queue?

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]

Questions people ask before they hit send

Thank them for a specific part of the conversation, add one example you didn't get to, and restate interest in the actual work. Keep it under 150 words. Then stop. Daily pings after interviews read as panic, not enthusiasm. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
